Junction

Welcome to Junction, a cutting-edge settlement layer designed to coordinate transaction flow and ensure efficient settlement across decentralized ecosystems. This latest update introduces powerful new modules: wasm, vrf (Verifiable Random Function), and cipher-ledger, significantly enhancing transaction security, confidentiality, and execution efficiency.

🚀 Key Enhancements in This Update

New Modules Introduced

• wasm Module: Brings full support for WebAssembly (WASM), enabling efficient smart contract execution.
• vrf Module: Introduces Verifiable Random Functions, enhancing randomness-based selection processes.
• cipher-ledger Module: Manages Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) functionalities, ensuring private and secure on-chain computations.

Improved Query & Transaction Processing

• Optimized verification key management.
• Enhanced query functionalities for seamless blockchain interactions.
• Robust batch handling for large-scale transaction processing.

📥 Installation & Setup

Download the Binary

Ensure you download the appropriate binary for your operating system:

• Visit the release page and select the correct binary:

  • Linux: junctiond-linux-amd64
  • macOS: junctiond-darwin-amd64
  • Windows: junctiond-windows-amd64

• Rename the downloaded file for convenience:

  mv <downloaded-binary> junctiond

• Make it executable:

  chmod +x junctiond
