HitChain project aims to join hands with global developers to build a co-governance community that is completely created by developers, shared by developers, and profitable for developers. HitChain contains two meanings: Hit is taken from Git, H is the next letter of G, with a better version of metaphor; Chain is taken from blockchain, hoping to use blockchain technology to build a more dynamic open source ecosystem.

Project Introduction

HitChain's purpose is to build a trusted decentralized development collaboration infrastructure to carry a fair developer labor outcomes market and accumulate a transparent developer credit reporting system, and ultimately form a co-governance community that is truly shared, built and shared by developers. In this community ecological environment that is both home and stage, the token system inspires every developer to directly realize the real value with innovation, including fair monetary returns (currency value) and community status (currency rights); the co-governance rule system guarantees that every community developer always has the responsibility and right to participate in the construction of their ideal country.

HitChain Vision

HitChain is an open DAO (Distributed Autonomous Organization) for developers, committed to building a global co-governance community that developers share. HitChain represents the entire interests of global developers and will gradually solve the challenging problems of the existing open source ecosystem in the safe management of developers' outputs, reasonable measurement of capabilities, timely realization of value, rapid creativity, and real ownership of rights.

HitChain draws on the open source concept and builds a new decentralized global open source software community system based on blockchain technology. The HitChain community participates and completely governs by developers around the world through its original core underlying architecture technology and consensus mechanism. Developer labor outputs realize shared storage, browsing, distribution, paid use, etc. through the HitChain open source custody protocol. In the HitChain community, the results of each developer's labor will be respected and automatically copyrighted, and the return will be obtained through tokens. Users do not have to hold HIT tokens, and as long as they make behaviors that are beneficial to the community, such as code contribution, they will be recognized as community members.

Technical Highlights

Overall System Architecture
The overall HitChain architecture mainly includes operation infrastructure, community infrastructure, HitChain development and trading community and
Four core components including HitChain application software:
•HitChain Cryptocurrency Infrastructure
•HitChain Community Infrastructure
•HitChain Community
•HitChain application software

HitChain Blockchain Basic Network
HitChain is a blockchain oriented to software code development, storage, transaction activities, etc. built based on blockchain technology, and provides runtime support for the HitChain community. Among them, the components and services mainly involved include hybrid shard chains, ledgers, consensus mechanisms, isolation witnesses and smart contracts, etc.
•Hybrid chain infrastructure
• DAG high concurrent asynchronous execution
•Classified Dynamic Ledger Technology
•Double consensus parallel mechanism
•Secretary Witness and Smart Contract

Distributed Hosting System Based on Hit Protocol
HitChain will build a fully decentralized, efficient distributed storage system with freely shared storage based on blockchain technology. Based on this system, platform users can share free storage space and obtain incentives. HitChain builds a decentralized storage network based on the storage space shared by users and provides efficient, reliable and inexpensive storage services for software code hosting.
IPFS decentralized storage structure composition:
•Hit distributed hosting protocol
•Code file storage optimization
• Cross-chain authentication mechanism
•MTSM-Multi-task parallel state machine

Application Scenarios

HitChain provides a series of client application software. Using these software developers can easily and quickly participate in various activities in the community.

Online Community Platform
The HitChain online community platform supports three types of activities, including community operation, asset management and user interaction.

Resource Sharing Management System
HitChain stores the developer's source code on the entire network in a distributed form, and developers who are willing to contribute share their local computing resources through the resource sharing management system. The system provides graphical and command-line management tools to assist developers in setting and adjusting shared space and shared bandwidth.

Hit Client
Developers use the Hit client to complete code submission, synchronization and other operations locally. Hit is based on Git development and is a major improvement and upgrade to the Git protocol. It is designed to be a Git user-friendly protocol and is compatible with most commands of the Git protocol. Git users can adopt Hit at almost zero cost.
