Introduction & Architectures¶
Welcome to BitShares! BitShares Blockchain implements an industrial-grade technology focused on businesses, organizations or individuals, with an amazing eco-system and free-market economy. Though this documentation, we introduce BitShares Blockchain features and functions to create your Command-Line (i.e., CLI) wallet, application, or other programs for developers.

Key Design Concepts and the Features¶
Key points and fundamentals for the design:¶
Keep everything in memory.
Keep the core business logic in a single thread.
Keep cryptographic operations (hashes and signatures) out of the core business logic.
Divide validation into state-dependent and state-independent checks.
Use an object-oriented data model.
Avoid synchronization primitives (locks, atomic operations)
Minimize unnecessary computation in the business logic processor.
BitShares is built to aim high-performance blockchain and has been done to remove all calculations that are not part of the critical, order-dependent, evaluation from the core business logic, and to design a protocol the facilitates these kinds of optimizations.
Blockchain Observation¶
Blockchain Activity¶
Blockchain Activity Matrix shows different tokens (assets) Activity, Value, and Index. It’s interesting to check the CUI index is Capacity Utilization Index (a rate of blockchain daily activity to total blockchain capacity) to see how much numbers BitShares has.
