Smart Contract Application Browser Open Source Project

Smart Contract Application Browser Open Source Project is an open source project being run on github. The Smart Contract Application Browser (SCAB) aims to be a browser and app store for the Blockchain / Smart Contract era. A Smart Contract Application, also known as a Decentralized Application (Dapp), combines code on a blockchain (smart contract), client side code and GUI, and cryptographic keys used to identify the parties involved in the contract. The SCAB is an application which runs on an end point such as a mobile phone, tablet or computer. The Dapp GUI and client side code runs in a sandbox in the SCAB, in a similar way to how HTML and Javascript run in a sandbox in a web browser. Similarly to how web browsers can display content from many websites, the SCAB can display the GUI of many contracts. The keys used to identify the user sit outside of the sandbox. When the SCAB interprets code in the Dapp client side code which executes a funciton call on the smart contract, the SCAB creates a blockchain transaction for the smart contract call and uses the user's key to sign the transaction. The SCAB project is in early stages of development. The goals of the SCAB are:* Simpler Dapp authoring and deployment process.* Limit Dapp access to keys.* Abstract complex security issues such as key sharing between devices away from general application developers.* Cross-blockchain platform: Ethereum (initial support), Hyperledger Fabric.* Cross-device platform: Android(initial support), iOS, Web Browser, Windows, Mac, Linux.
