DigiByte Alliance and First Bridge Collaborate for Rosetta Update

Implementing the Rosetta standard on DigiByte will serve two major purposes:

• First, the Rosetta standard will serve as a foundational layer to allow for more avid developer contributions to DigiByte by enabling developers proficient in coding protocol languages other than C++ to build on DigiByte. For example, developers proficient in JavaScript and NodeJS will be able to contribute to DigiByte development for the first time. The Rosetta foundation layer will serve as the basis of a developer “toolbox” that will help lower the barrier to entry and increase developer activity across DigiByte’s application layer.

• Second, the adoption of the Rosetta specification as a contributory standard for DigiByte will allow developers working across other blockchains that have adopted the Rosetta standard to be able to work and collaborate with DigiByte developers and provide a level of interoperability. Other leading blockchains that support Rosetta include Celo, Filecoin, Near, Ontology, and Sia among others. Rosetta will serve as a unifying layer between all other blockchains that adopt the specification.

“I was always an advocate of Coinbase’s Rosetta SDK that tremendously eases the integration of projects. Just imagine you were about to build a blockchain startup and you had to find developers to support the integration of more than a dozen blockchain interfaces, the Rosetta standard would only require you to implement your system for one abstracted interface, yielding support for all blockchain projects that have a Rosetta Integration. That is a huge development and will potentially lead to more startups building on crypto and DigiByte.” — Yoshi Jaeger

To accomplish the implementation of Rosetta into DigiByte blockchain, First Bridge added new methods while enhancing existing interfaces to create offline transactions used to compare against blockchain transaction hashes. This was done to help ensure data immutability. Furthermore, the team has expanded indexer functionality and replaced the supportive library that focuses on transactions with a more functional module. Lastly, new functional/unit tests were created to account for more complete and thorough testing.

This submission is currently under review, and the DigiByte Alliance expects this Rosetta collaboration with First Bridge to be the first of many initiatives to increase developer engagement with the DigiByte blockchain. The DigiByte Alliance would like to thank Ellina Kolisnichenko, the tech lead at First Bridge, for her work in developing and delivering the Rosetta code to its latest and current specification. Thanks also to Yoshi Jaeger, the initial contributor to the Rosetta implementation on DigiByte, and to Fredrick Gabelmann and Denis Demut, PMO at First Bridge, for coordinating the initiative.
