Hey Hey,

It’s been a while since my last update on the community fund, so I wanted to share some news.

Rui joined us as a community developer in July and has been actively working on rsnano, the Rust implementation of Nano. The first of six monthly payouts has just been processed!

Rui has made some great progress, especially with the new command line interface (CLI), which has been merged. Next up, he’ll be focusing on the RPC commands so that all the important bits are in Rust.

Here is a technical overview of how the Rust CLI implementation enhances user experience:

  • Clear Command Structure: The CLI lists main commands first, followed by their specific options or subcommands. There are four main commands:
    • ledger
    • node
    • utils
    • wallets
  • Concise Descriptions: Descriptions are shorter, making them easier to read.
  • Comprehensive Help Options: All commands and subcommands have a --help option that explains their function and available subcommands or options.
  • Example Usage: ./rsnano_node ledger info peers --network beta displays the peers of the node on the beta network, where:
    • ./rsnano_node is the CLI executable
    • ledger is the command
    • info is the subcommand of ledger
    • peers is the subcommand of info
    • --network is a flag/option
    • beta is the argument for --network
