TrustCoin is a high throughput, low latency and fault-tolerant sharded Transaction Manager. It implements a distributed ledger of transactions following the UTxO model, enabling users to send transactions containing TCoins to each other. It exposes a RESTful API to the clients, and provides the ability to send coins, tailor specific transactions or create a list of transactions that is processed atomically. In addition, it provides sophisticated queries to the ledger, with ranging levels of consistency. The name TrustCoin stems from the fact that our transaction manager assumes honest members, thus doesn’t handle Byzantine members, but instead trusts they do the right thing.
