FURPS+
Functionality
- Host and manage lifecycle of independent modules (wallet, consensus, networking)
- Enable inter-module communication via Qt Remote Objects IPC
- Provide service discovery and dependency resolution
- Support dynamic module loading and unloading
- Coordinate module initialization and shutdown sequences
Reliability
- Ensure process isolation to prevent cascade failures
- Provide automatic module restart on crashes
- Enable graceful degradation when modules fail
- Support health monitoring and diagnostics
Performance
- Minimize IPC overhead for inter-module communication
- Support parallel module execution
- Optimize module startup and initialization times
- Enable efficient resource sharing between modules
Supportability
- Provide module development SDK and tooling
- Enable hot-reloading for development workflows
- Support versioning and compatibility checks
- Offer debugging and profiling capabilities
+ (Privacy, Anonymity, Censorship-Resistance)
- Security: Process isolation prevents cross-module exploits
- Privacy: Controlled data access between modules via permissions
- Modularity: Enable privacy-critical components to run in isolated processes
- Censorship-Resistance: Modular architecture enables rapid adaptation to threats
Demand Validation
Potential Users: Logos network operators, node runners, infrastructure developers
Use Cases:
- Running Logos blockchain nodes
- Operating network infrastructure (validators, RPC providers)
- Developing and testing new consensus mechanisms
- Deploying custom module configurations
- Building privacy-preserving services
Possible Implementation
- Runtime Core: Qt-based application framework managing module processes
- IPC System: Qt Remote Objects for typed, bidirectional communication
- Module Registry: Service discovery with versioning and dependency resolution
- Process Manager: Spawn, monitor, and restart module processes
- Configuration: Declarative module configuration and startup sequences
Technical Validation
Risks & Challenges:
- Complexity of distributed process architecture
- Performance overhead of IPC vs monolithic design
- Module version compatibility and migration
- Debugging distributed module interactions
- Security boundaries and permission models
Integration Points:
- Logos Storage for persistent data
