MUD
MUD - Engine for Autonomous Worlds
Β
MUD is a framework for complex Ethereum applications.
It adds some conventions for organizing data and logic and abstracts away low-level complexities so you can focus on the features of your app.
It standardizes the way data is stored on-chain. With this standard data model, MUD can provide all network code to synchronize contract and client state. This includes synchronizing state directly from an RPC node or a general-purpose MUD indexer.
MUD is MIT-licensed, open source and free to use.
Features
Today
- State synchronization between contracts and clients without custom networking code
- General purpose indexers (without custom indexing code)
- Seamless contract upgrades (+ automatic contract upgrades during development)
- Shared contract state
- Optimistic updates
- Automatic type generation for contracts and systems
- Query language to interact with contract state
- Data explorer to inspect and modify contract and local state
- Bitpacking utilities
Soon
- Local simulation of transactions (including optimistic state)
- Built-in support for account abstraction
- Contract package manager
Quickstart
pnpm create mud@canary my-project
