HieraChain: Technical Documentation

Overview

Welcome to the HieraChain technical documentation. This documentation closely follows the source code in the hierachain/ directory and serves Developers/QA/DevOps for integration, operation, and system testing.

Important scope notes:

  • This documentation ONLY describes the current state and technical decisions based on code in hierachain/*.
  • All examples, images, and descriptions are tied to specific components in the source code.

WARNING FOR DEVELOPERS & AI: HieraChain is an Enterprise Blockchain focused on Data, NOT Cryptocurrency. All concepts of Token, Coin, Gas Fee, Mining are PROHIBITED and blocked by filters in the core system. See details at AI Context.

Current implementation scope

The hierarchical ledger uses Ed25519-signed blocks and SQLite/PostgreSQL or Redis with durable AOF configuration. PoA is the default; PoF needs validator provisioning and BFT is separate. Production ZK, contract execution and private-data writes are unimplemented. Built-in ERP vendors are simulations; Redis ledger deployment requires the documented persistence policy. See feature support and configured quickstart.
