DChain single-node blockchain + React Native messenger client. Core: - PBFT consensus with multi-sig validator admission + equivocation slashing - BadgerDB + schema migration scaffold (CurrentSchemaVersion=0) - libp2p gossipsub (tx/v1, blocks/v1, relay/v1, version/v1) - Native Go contracts (username_registry) alongside WASM (wazero) - WebSocket gateway with topic-based fanout + Ed25519-nonce auth - Relay mailbox with NaCl envelope encryption (X25519 + Ed25519) - Prometheus /metrics, per-IP rate limit, body-size cap Deployment: - Single-node compose (deploy/single/) with Caddy TLS + optional Prometheus - 3-node dev compose (docker-compose.yml) with mocked internet topology - 3-validator prod compose (deploy/prod/) for federation - Auto-update from Gitea via /api/update-check + systemd timer - Build-time version injection (ldflags → node --version) - UI / Swagger toggle flags (DCHAIN_DISABLE_UI, DCHAIN_DISABLE_SWAGGER) Client (client-app/): - Expo / React Native / NativeWind - E2E NaCl encryption, typing indicator, contact requests - Auto-discovery of canonical contracts, chain_id aware, WS reconnect on node switch Documentation: - README.md, CHANGELOG.md, CONTEXT.md - deploy/single/README.md with 6 operator scenarios - deploy/UPDATE_STRATEGY.md with 4-layer forward-compat design - docs/contracts/*.md per contract
DChain Messenger — React Native Client
E2E-encrypted mobile/desktop messenger built on the DChain blockchain stack.
Stack: React Native · Expo · NativeWind (Tailwind) · TweetNaCl · Zustand
Quick Start
cd client-app
npm install
npx expo start # opens Expo Dev Tools
# Press 'i' for iOS simulator, 'a' for Android, 'w' for web
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- Expo Go on your phone (for Expo tunnel), or iOS/Android emulator
- A running DChain node (see root README for
docker compose up --build -d)

Cryptography
| Operation | Algorithm | Library |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction signing | Ed25519 | TweetNaCl sign |
| Key exchange | X25519 (Curve25519) | TweetNaCl box |
| Message encryption | NaCl box (XSalsa20-Poly1305) | TweetNaCl box |
| Key storage | Device secure enclave | expo-secure-store |
Messages are encrypted as:
Envelope {
sender_pub: <X25519 hex> // sender's public key
recipient_pub: <X25519 hex> // recipient's public key
nonce: <24-byte hex> // random per message
ciphertext: <hex> // NaCl box(plaintext, nonce, sender_priv, recipient_pub)
}
Connect to your node
- Start the DChain node:
docker compose up --build -d - Open the app → Settings → Node URL →
http://YOUR_IP:8081 - If using Expo Go on physical device: your PC and phone must be on the same network, or use
npx expo start --tunnel
Key File Format
The key.json exported/imported by the app:
{
"pub_key": "26018d40...", // Ed25519 public key (64 hex chars)
"priv_key": "...", // Ed25519 private key (128 hex chars)
"x25519_pub": "...", // X25519 public key (64 hex chars)
"x25519_priv": "..." // X25519 private key (64 hex chars)
}
This is the same format as the Go node's --key flag.
