  • Consensus proposals
  • Event handlers
  • Cross-chain contracts
  • Data pipelines

Editor Commands

• Compile: OMNIX: Compile Current File
• Run: OMNIX: Run Current File
• Format: OMNIX: Format Document

🌐 Language Features

• Native Consensus Protocols: Built-in blockchain, PBFT, and Raft consensus
• Automatic Distribution: Geographic distribution and load balancing
• Cross-Chain Interoperability: Connect multiple blockchain networks
• Byzantine Fault Tolerance: Resilient to malicious actors
• Edge-to-Cloud Orchestration: Seamless deployment across infrastructure
• Zero-Downtime Deployments: Rolling updates and blue-green deployments

🚀 Quick Start

// Distributed consensus with automatic failover
consensus cluster UserService {
    replicas: 5
    consensus: PBFT
    zones: ["us-east", "eu-west", "asia-pacific"]
    
    service handle_request(req: UserRequest) -> Response {
        // Automatically distributed across replicas
        user = database.get_user(req.user_id)
        
        // Cross-chain verification
        verified = blockchain.verify {
            chain: "ethereum"
            contract: user.wallet_address
        }
        
        return Response { user, verified }
    }
}

// Cross-chain smart contract deployment
@cross_chain(["ethereum", "polygon", "arbitrum"])
contract TokenBridge {
    function transfer(
        from_chain: ChainId,
        to_chain: ChainId,
        amount: TokenAmount
    ) {
        // Automatic atomic cross-chain transfer
        lock_tokens(from_chain, amount)
        mint_tokens(to_chain, amount)
        emit CrossChainTransfer(from_chain, to_chain, amount)
    }
}

// Distributed data processing pipeline
pipeline DataProcessor {
    input: KafkaStream<RawData>
    
    stage preprocess {
        parallel workers: auto_scale(load)
        process(data) => clean_and_validate(data)
    }
    
    stage ml_inference {
        gpu_workers: 4
        model: load_model("data_classifier")
        process(data) => model.predict(data)
    }
    
    output: DatabaseSink<ProcessedData>
}
