Frameworks
Godwoken
Godwoken is a layer 2 rollup framework for use with the Nervos CKB layer 1 blockchain. When combined with the EVM-compatible Polyjuice framework, Solidity dApps can be run on Nervos' layer 2.
Godwoken is highly flexible and extensible, allowing it to support optimistic rollups, and potentially other rollup methods such as ZK-rollups in the future. Godwoken currently uses Proof of Authority based consensus, but will add Proof of Stake as an alternative in the near future.
Godwoken is designed to be used with a second framework which defines the programming model used within the layer 2 environment. Alternate implementations can be created to support compatibility with programming models from other blockchains, such as EOS, Stellar, and Libra.
Godwoken Kicker
Godwoken Kicker is a tool to help developers to quickly launch an instance of Godwoken-Polyjuice on a private Devnet. Since this runs on a brand new Devnet chain, there is no need to synchronize the Mainnet or Testnet.
This is useful for developers who need a quick solution to setup an Ethereum-compatible Nervos environment to test compatibility with existing Solidity dApps.
Polyjuice
Polyjuice is an Ethereum EVM-compatible execution environment, which allows Solidity based smart contracts to run on Nervos. The goal of the project is 100% compatibility, allowing all Ethereum contracts to run on Nervos without any modification.
Polyjuice is designed to be used with the Godwoken layer 2 rollup framework. This allows Polyjuice to completely move smart contract execution off of layer 1 to layer 2, providing scalability that goes far beyond what the Ethereum Mainnet is capable of today.
