 1 | # Decentralized Consensus Challenge
 2 | ------
 3 | 
 4 | Congratulations on making it to the Decentralized Consensus Challenge! Blockchain's have several layers starting from the protocol level all the way up to the dApp layer. Your challenge
 5 | today is to **EITHER** extend Rchain **OR** implement an ERC20 Token! ​ 
 6 | 
 7 | **YOU ONLY NEED TO CHOOSE 1 CHALLENGE** 
 8 | 
 9 | **Submission equals invitation to interview!** **Incomplete solutions are welcomed!**
10 | 
11 | **Submit a single PDF containing**
12 | 
13 |  1. Write up on your process (w/ screenshots)
14 |  2. Link to your Github repository containing challenge code
15 |  3. Screenshot of showing successful completion of the challenge
16 | 	 * Challenge 1 (Extending Rchain): Screenshots of *get_total_tokens()* and *get_transactions_for()* output.
17 | 	 * Challenge 2 (ERC20 Token): Screenshots of contract deployed to Ropsten with time/date stamp and link to smart contract's public hash via [Ropsten scanner](https://ropsten.etherscan.io/).
18 | 
19 | We will ask you to run the code and demo it live!
20 | 
21 | #### Tips On Getting Started:
22 | * Dive Deep into the code! Then build fast!
23 | * Find resources online.
24 | * Keep it simple.
25 | * Test driven development.
26 | 
27 | 
28 | ## Challenge 1 
29 | #### Extending Rchain + Starting Resources:
30 | 
31 |  1. Understand and familiarize with the [Rchain codebase](https://github.com/Mereep/rchain)
32 | 	 * Learning Rust [[1]](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/)[[2]](https://youtu.be/U1EFgCNLDB8) 
33 |  2. Run Rchain as per [example](https://github.com/Mereep/rchain/raw/gh-pages/Blockchain%20Article%20Part%201.pdf) 
34 | 	 * Multiple users on the network
35 | 	 * Both example attacks
36 |  3.  Extend *World State* with *get_total_tokens()* to display the current token total in the network.
37 | 	 * Tip: can be calculated by walking through the chain
38 |  4. Extend *World State* with *get_transactions_for()*  display all the transactions in coronological order and block # for a given id. 
39 | 
40 | #### Optional:
41 | * Dockerize the Rchain codebase 
42 | * Scale to 10 users
43 | 
44 | 
45 | ## Challenge 2
46 | #### ERC20 Token + Starting Resources:
47 | 
48 |  1.  Understand the fundamentals 
49 | 	 * [What is Ethereum?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDGq4aeevgY) 
50 | 	 * [What is a smart contract?](https://youtu.be/ZE2HxTmxfrI) 
51 | 	 * [What is an ERC20 Token?](https://blockgeeks.com/guides/erc20-tokens/)
52 |  2. Implement **YOUR OWN** [ERC20 Token](https://www.toptal.com/ethereum/create-erc20-token-tutorial)
53 | 	 * Add a comment at the top of your contract saying *Insight Decentralized Consensus Challenge*
54 |  3. Deploy the Smart Contract to Ethereum testnet Ropsten using [Truffle](https://www.trufflesuite.com/blog/an-easier-way-to-deploy-your-smart-contracts)
55 | 
56 | #### Optional:
57 | * Deploy contract to a local testnet
