FURPS+
Functionality
- Provide module development framework with lifecycle management
- Enable inter-module communication via Qt Remote Objects
- Abstract platform services (storage, messaging, networking)
- Support plugin architecture for extensibility
- Provide cryptographic primitives and key management APIs
Usability
- Offer clear API documentation and examples
- Include CMake integration for build systems
- Provide module templates and scaffolding tools
- Support multiple platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Reliability
- Ensure process isolation between modules
- Provide graceful error handling and recovery
- Support hot-reloading of modules during development
- Enable robust IPC with automatic reconnection
Performance
- Minimize overhead for inter-module communication
- Support asynchronous operations to prevent blocking
- Optimize for low-latency message passing
- Enable parallel execution of independent modules
+ (Privacy, Anonymity, Censorship-Resistance)
- Privacy: Built-in support for encrypted communication between modules
- Security: Sandboxed module execution with controlled permissions
- Censorship-Resistance: Enable development of censorship-resistant applications
- Modularity: Isolate sensitive operations in separate processes
Demand Validation
Potential Users: Core platform developers, module developers, third-party contributors
Use Cases:
- Building new Logos Core modules (wallet, consensus, networking)
- Creating custom blockchain extensions
- Developing privacy-preserving application backends
- Integrating external services with Logos infrastructure
Possible Implementation
- IPC Layer: Qt Remote Objects for type-safe inter-process communication
- Module API: Abstract base classes for module lifecycle hooks
- Service Registry: Centralized discovery of available modules and services
- Build System: CMake with module templates and packaging support
- Platform Abstraction: Cross-platform APIs for filesystem, networking, crypto
Technical Validation
Risks & Challenges:
- Maintaining API stability across platform versions
- Balancing flexibility with security constraints
- Documentation quality for third-party developers
- Performance overhead of process isolation
- Cross-platform compatibility and testing
Integration Points:
- Logos Storage client integration
- Logos Messaging client integration
- Logos Core runtime for module hosting
- Operating system services (process management, IPC)
