Tezos Rust SDK

A set of Rust libraries to interact with the Tezos blockchain.

Use Cases

The Tezos Swift SDK ships with tools that can be used to:

General

• convert a Base58 encoded string to bytes and vice versa

Michelson/Micheline

• parse or create Micheline structures
• convert Micheline from/to JSON
• pack and unpack Micheline
• convert Micheline to typed Michelson and vice versa

Operations

• create an unsigned or signed Tezos operation
• forge and unforge an operation
• sign an operation and verify the signature

RPC

• interact with a Tezos node
• estimate the operation fee

Contract

• read a contract's storage
• read BigMap values
• prepare contract calls

Requirements

Rust 1.60.0 or above.

Install the rustc compiler and the cargo command line tool through rustup.

Build

cargo build --release

Test

cargo test

Rust Documentation

Use the following command from the root folder of one of the crates to generate and open the Rust documentation:

cargo doc --open

For example, run the above command inside tezos-core to generate the documentation for the tezos-core crate and open it in the browser.

Samples

See the sample projects in samples to see how the various crates can be used.

Packages

Tezos Rust SDK is a multi-crate project. It has been designed to allow its users to use only the required minimum of functionality that meets their needs, thus optimizing the amount of redundant and unwanted code and dependencies.

Package	Description	Dependencies
