Are you looking to interact with the NEO blockchain, but don’t want to sync the entire Neo Blockchain?

Check out our new Github offering that enables you to perform all of the operations of Neo Python without having to keep the Blockchain in sync.

NEO Flux aims to be the first lightweight C# NEO API server

AllCode has started publishing to our neo-flux github repository.

AllCode started working on neo-flux after incurring pain with neo-python due to neo-python’s requirement that the NEO production or test blockchain be synchronized in order to make use of it. neo-flux is based upon on the City of Zion project, neo-lux.

What does neo-flux currently do?

_________________________

— This project aims to be the first lightweight C# NEO API server, which can be installed and used right away without requiring synchronizing with the NEO Production Blockchain. If you have any experience using neo-python, you’ll understand the benefit of not having to synchronize.

— All transactions can be securely processed without having open wallets on the server. All of the other NEO server apps require an existing wallet to remain open.

— Each operation rotates to a different RPC node. All of the other NEO apps stick to the most recent working RPC node.

— RPC Nodes are checked before performing operations on them. Slow, dead, or otherwise unreachable nodes are discarded, so, the server is always connected to working fast RPC nodes.

— Gracefully handles failed transactions by using up configurable retries spread out over a configurable timespan.

— Ability to close the server to ensure selected clients can use it, which gives us control for specific products.

— Easy to use, JSON focused API

— Configured with NEO RPC Nodes that work. If you don’t understand why you need to make use of different seed nodes then please see Configuring the NEO-GUI and NEO-LUX to use different NEO Seed Nodes

“RpcNodes”:[

“http://node2.nyc3.bridgeprotocol.io:10332”,

“http://seed3.aphelion-neo.com:10332”,

“http://seed1.aphelion-neo.com:10332”,

“http://node2.ams2.bridgeprotocol.io:10332”,

“http://seed4.aphelion-neo.com:10332”,
