Catalyst Network API Framework
API framework is a set of tools (RPC-Service, Wallet-Service, Payment-Gateway) e.t.c. to build and deploy blockchain applications.
Built on the Shoulders of Giants
Catalyst utilizes Argon2/CHUKWA a CryptoNote application layer protocol-based algorithm, that powers several decentralized privacy-oriented digital currencies. It aims to be an evolution of the ideas behind Bitcoin. Another significant difference is CryptoNote's hash-based proof-of-work algorithm. Bitcoin uses SHA-256, which is a CPU-bound function. That means that participants (miners) are only limited by their calculation speeds, and it is relatively cheap to create an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) device, which will surpass an ordinary computer in hashes per unit of money. CryptoNote uses memory bound function CryptoNight, which cannot be easily pipelined.
As an independent fork of Turtle Coin, Catalyst also seeks to be a secure and private network. Catalyst Coin is resistant to blockchain analysis and provides untraceable transactions. By default, Catalyst utilizes cryptographic methods to send funds with no identifying information.
Aside from making mining more approachable, Argon2/Chukwa is accelerating blockchain verification making Catalyst’s network faster than the networks of the other CryptoNote-based cryptocurrencies.
CPU/GPU friendly algorithm for the maintenance of its Proof-of-work.
Catalyst Network API is also designed as a set of independent and reusable services. You can perfectly use them in a standalone way, or integrate them by yourself in your own project.
Getting started with Catalyst
Our ecosystem is very friendly for beginners, and for experienced miners.
The Catalyst Network Roadmap

GUI Wallet
Creating GUI wallet, for better user experience, and to allow people to sync remotely. [DONE]
Paper Wallet
now by writing down and protecting the mnemonic seed, you will always have access to your funds! [DONE]
2nd Exchange
Listing on TradeCX to bing more trading volume, and give more options to the users. [DONE]
Q3 — 2019
Funding System
The Catalyst Funding System was put in to action by members of the Catalyst Community. Our goal is to have our community members fund each other in order to help Catalyst grow. [DONE]
Algo. Change
The algorithm change to Argon2/Chukwa to accelerate blockchain verification and make Catalyst’s network faster than the networks of the other CryptoNote-based cryptocurrencies. [DONE]
Q4 - 2019
Article series
Starting a series of articles on Medium social platform with news and updates about Catalyst life. [IN PROGRESS]
Mobile wallet
It will allow CX users to use their smartphones to make instant payments and use CX Dapp services. [FUNDING REQUIRED]
Web wallet
Integrated into our website It will allow users to have access to their funds without any additional software. [FUNDING REQUIRED]
New site
Catalyst portal to host all the related data about the project, and provide various blockchain-related services. [IN PROGRESS]
Nodes 3D Map
The detailed three-dimensional map of Catalyst network nodes, to give an overview of the current network state. [DONE]
Analytics
The system will provide services to enhance and improve your trading experience on specific exchanges. [IN PROGRESS]
Q1 2020
More exchanges
We want Catalyst to be as accessible to everyone, thus, the more exchanges we have the better. [FUNDING REQUIRED]
CMC & CG listing
Listing on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko to gain better exposure, and let more people know about the project. [TODO]
Add P2P Chat
Add P2P chat into GUI, web and mobile wallets to allow Catalyst users to send secure messages to each other. [FUNDING REQUIRED]
Q2 2020
OTC trading
Add OTC trading functionality to the GUI, web and mobile wallets. To make Catalyst an exchange independent currency. [FUNDING REQUIRED]
Sponsorship
Recruit influential sponsors into CX community who believe in our goals, to support further development and natural growth of the project appreciation. [TODO]
Next to the Breast, Catalyst's the Best!
The main goal of “Catalyst” is to create an infrastructure for Dapps (decentralized applications), in order to give independent and creative people a chance to adapt in a constantly changing world, and get back control of their privacy and security.
Catalyst was created by the community — for the community.
We do not recognize I.C.Os, Master Nodes, stacking and technical premine.
We don't have a central leadership, all the decisions regarding the project development are made exclusively by the community!
Powerful RPC API clients and services.

Catalyst Coin Core RPC APIs include catalystd, wallet-api and catalyst-service, which provide JSON 2.0 RPC interface for interacting with the blockchain.
All the APIs are well documented, so you don't have to waste time and start using them right away. The services are well tested in stress conditions in our test-net, are very stable and use the minimum required system resources.
RPC API is platform agnostic, there are numerous clients for most common programming languages, just pick one and start using it right away.
It doesn't matter which platform, you use, whether it be mobile, windows or Linux, RPC API clients are available for NodeJs, PHP, Python and Go, so you can use your favorite stack for Dapps building without reinventing the wheel.
