Blockchain Frameworks

• Substrate Substrate: The platform for blockchain innovators;
• slingshot A new blockchain architecture under active development, with a strong focus on scalability, privacy and safety.
• Tendermint ABCI Tendermint ABCI server, written in the Rust programming language.
• Orga A high-performance state machine engine designed for Tendermint-based blockchain applications.

Cross-Chain

• Comit is an open protocol facilitating trustless cross-blockchain applications.
• IBC Rust implementation of the Interblockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).

Virtual Machines

• CKB-VM -- RISC-V virtual machine;
• CosmWasm -- Multi-chain smart contract platform built for the Cosmos ecosystem;
• EVM Parity -- Parity implementation of EVM;
• SVM -- Spacemesh Virtual Machine;
• Wasmi -- WebAssembly interpreter;
• Wasmer -- a convenient Rust wrapper over WebAssembly backends;
• Wasmtime & Lightbeam -- Wasmtime -- JIT runtime, Lightbeam -- single-pass compiler for WebAssembly.

General-Purpose Consensus

• Raft Raft distributed consensus algorithm implemented in Rust;
• parsec Protocol for Asynchronous, Reliable, Secure and Efficient Consensus;
• Honey Badger An implementation of the paper "Honey Badger of BFT Protocols" in Rust.

P2P Network Libraries

• chamomile p2p implement on Actor. Everything is for ease of use;
• crust Reliable p2p network connections in Rust with NAT traversal. One of the most needed libraries for any server-less / decentralised projects;
• libp2p The Rust Implementation of libp2p networking stack;
• p2p A multiplexed p2p network framework that supports custom protocols; (漂流)
• p2p NAT Traversal techniques for p2p communication; (Spandan Sharma)
• quic-p2p peer-to-peer communications library for Rust based on QUIC protocol;

• OpenZKP -- Pure Rust implementations of Zero-Knowledge Proof systems.

Layer2

• Rust-Lightning is a Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust. The main crate, lightning, does not handle networking, persistence, or any other I/O. Thus, it is runtime-agnostic, but users must implement basic networking logic, chain interactions, and disk storage.

Dapps

• Serum-dex. A decentralized exchange built on Solana.

Other

• abscissa -- micro-framework for CLI tools with strong focus on security;
• tesseracts -- A small block explorer for geth PoAs written in rust.
• merk -- High performance Merkle key/value store written in Rust, based on RocksDB.
