Welcome to Polaris Ethereum, a modular framework for injecting a Go-Ethereum (geth) EVM into any underlying consensus layer. This folder's directory structure closely resembles that of geth, as it is meant to be a thin wrapper around the existing geth codebase. The following architecture diagram shows how Polaris Ethereum integrates into the application level of a host chain.
api includes the public Chain API that Polaris Ethereum exports.
core includes the Polaris Core logic that runs the EVM: process blocks, transactions, and state
transitions. This encapsulates State Processor and Embedded Host Chain in the architecture
diagram.
rpc includes rpc service that can be injected into the host chain's JSON-RPC server. This
encapsulates RPC Backend in the architecture diagram.
The PolarisProvider can be exported and used by the host chain.
