[:jvm]This library hosts network utilities for the Convex stack. Peers are nodes of the Convex network that perform transactions in consensus and keep a state in sync. The fast binary client is used to connect to a peer for querying information from the network or submitting transactions, such as creating or calling smart contracts.
Most network interactions require a key pair. For instance, each user account in the network has a public key attached. When a transaction is submitted for an account, executed on behalf of that account, it must be signed using the matching private key. This is public-key cryptography and it ensures that only the owner of an account, owning its secret private key, can submit code to be executed in the context of that account.
Overview of namespaces:
| Namespace | Purpose |
|---|---|
convex.client |
Fast binary client for talking to the Convex network |
convex.key-pair |
Generate and handle key pairs |
convex.pfx |
Store key pairs securely in password protected files |
convex.server |
Run a peer node |
Those namespaces are built on top of convex-core and convex-peer in the core Java
repository and provide commonly needed features for building tools and
decentralized applications.
