What is plasma-core?¶
plasma-core
makes up the core of the Plasma Group node ecosystem.
It contains almost all of the functionality that a full plasma node needs.
plasma-core
handles things like watching Ethereum, keeping the local state up to date, and talking to the operator.
A full list of services that plasma-core
provides is documented in our architecture_ page.
plasma-core
is not a full plasma node!
This means that you’ll need to `extend plasma-core`_ to expose the full set of necessary functionality.
However, we’ve already done this for you!
We’ve built out two different full plasma nodes using plasma-core
as a backend.
Our most user-friendly node is plasma-extension
, a full plasma node inside a Chrome extension!
Note: plasma-extension
is still under construction.
