Node Manager Application Requirements Document

1. Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to outline the functional and non-functional requirements for a Node Manager Application for Spacemesh nodes. This GUI will enable users to easily manage their node, participate in the network, and interact with the Spacemesh blockchain.

Scope

The application will provide functionalities for setting up a node, monitoring its status, executing transactions, participating in consensus, and accessing blockchain data.

2. Overall Description

User Needs

  • Easy setup and management of a Spacemesh node
  • Easy and transparent smesh coins mining
  • Monitoring node health and performance
  • Interacting with smart contracts (future)
  • Participating in the network's consensus mechanism

Assumptions and Dependencies

  • Users have basic knowledge of blockchain technology
  • The minimum hardware requirements are met and the app doesn't cover edge cases of the users' expectations and issues
  • Dependence on the Spacemesh network's availability and performance

3. System Features and Requirements

Setup and Configuration

  • Wizard for initial node setup and configuration
  • Options to configure node parameters (e.g., for PoST, network/p2p related setup)

Node Management

  • Start, stop, and restart node operations
  • Real-time display of node status, including connection status, consensus participation, and sync status
  • Automated updates for node software

Monitoring and Analytics

  • Dashboard to display key performance indicators (KPIs) such as block creation rate, transaction processing time, and network bandwidth usage
  • Graphs and statistics for historical performance analysis
  • Notification system for critical events and alerts

Smart Contracts and dApps (future)

  • Interface for deploying and interacting with smart contracts
  • Directory or marketplace for discovering and interacting with decentralized applications (dApps)

Networking

  • View and manage peer connections
  • Configure networking settings for optimal performance and security

Security

  • Encryption for all sensitive data stored by the application
  • Secure communication with the Spacemesh network
  • Backup and recovery options for wallets and application data

Help and Support

  • Comprehensive user guide and FAQ section
  • Contact support via email or chat from within the application

4. Non-Functional Requirements

Performance

  • The application should ensure minimal performance impact on node operations.
  • Response times for user actions should not exceed 2 seconds under normal conditions.

Usability

  • The GUI should be intuitive and easy to use for users with different levels of expertise.
  • The application should provide tooltips and help for complex features.
