substrate-contracts-node VS substrate

Next, we install substrate-contracts-node. This is a simple substrate blockchain configured for smart contract functionality using contracts-pallets. You can use this instead of a Testnet, we will cover this in another article. You could install the binary which is faster. This is supported for linux and Mac systems.

First, navigate to the GitHub repository of the substrate-contracts-node and make a fork of the node under your own GitHub username by clicking on the Fork button on the upper-left corner of the page.

cargo install contracts-node --git https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node.git --tag --force --locked

Substrate — a framework for building application-specific blockchains (written in Rust);

frame-benchmarking = { version = "4.0.0-dev", default-features = false, optional = true, git = "https://github.com/paritytech/substrate.git", branch = "polkadot-v1.0.0" }

To offer some perspective outside of the typical "all crypto is a scam", Parity is doing some cool stuff with a rust modular blockchain library called Substrate https://github.com/paritytech/substrate.

Rust takes the cake in the blockchain space: Substrate, Cosmos (CosmWasm), and Solana. All of the zero knowledge cryptography libraries used for layer 2 solutions are written in Rust, compiling to Wasm (see arkworks, Risc0). Ethereum's next version of smart contracts will even use a restricted subset of Wasm ("Ewasm") instead of EVM.

Verifying NPoS election solution graph and its score is a memory-intensive operation that needs to be performed within a single block time. Under the current runtime constraints, a solution graph with 22,500 nominators can be verified well within the block production time on Polkadot. There are plans to improve on this and implement multi-block election solution verification, after which, the NPoS system can scale to incorporate more nominators.

Fast-unstake is now available on Kusama. This allows instant unstaking if you have not participated in staking in the last 28 eras. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12129

First, any outstanding multisig calls (ones where one signatory has signed, but not the threshold) will not be able to execute. Please either finish your multisig calls before this upgrade, or wait until after it is completed. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12072
