This is a 'toy' or prototype blockchain. The blockchain code is based on the book Learn Blockchain Programming with JavaScript.
The peer-to-peer network part of the blockchain is based on IPFS (aka libp2p). This code repository was started as a fork of the ipfs-service-provider-leveldb boilerplate.
