🌲 Crypto Ecosystems is a taxonomy for sharing data around open source blockchain, Web3, cryptocurrency, and decentralized ecosystems and tying them to GitHub organizations and code repositories. All of the ecosystems are specified in TOML configuration files.
This repository is not complete, and hopefully it never is as there are new ecosystems and repositories created everyday.
There's a couple of ways you can help grow this initiative.
You can make any .toml file for an ecosystem under the /data/ecosystems directory or edit an existing one to help improve data around an ecosystem.
You can fork this repository and open a PR from the forked repo to this repo. If you are not sure how to do that, you can follow the tutorial in this video.
An example configuration file for the Bitcoin ecosystem looks like this:
# Ecosystem Level Information
title = "Bitcoin"
# Sub Ecosystems
# These are the titles of other ecosystems in different .toml files in the /data/ecosystems directory
sub_ecosystems = [ "Lightning", "RSK Smart Bitcoin", "ZeroNet"]
# GitHub Organizations
# This is a list of links to associated GitHub organizations.
github_organizations = ["https://github.com/bitcoin", "https://github.com/bitcoin-core", "https://github.com/bitcoinj", "https://github.com
/btcsuite", "https://github.com/libbitcoin", "https://github.com/rust-bitcoin"]
# Repositories
# These are structs including a url and tags for a git repository. These URLs do not necessarily have to be on GitHub.
[[repo]]
url = "https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin"
tags = [ "Protocol"]
[[repo]]
url = "https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook"
tags = [ "Documentation"]
[[repo]]
url = "https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet"
tags = [ "Wallet"]
By specifying the data as evolving config files in git, we benefit from a long term, auditable database that is both human and machine readable.
If you are not a developer or you find making a commit too difficult, you can use this Airtable based alternative below.
You can visit the form here, fill it, submit it and we'll take care of the rest :)
To use the Electric Capital Crypto Ecosystems Map, you will need an attribution.
Attribution needs to have 3 components:
- Source: “Electric Capital Crypto Ecosystems Mapping”
- Link: https://github.com/electric-capital/crypto-ecosystems
- Logo: Link to logo
Optional: Everyone in the crypto ecosystem benefits from additions to this repository. It is a help to everyone to include an ask to contribute next to your attribution.
Sample request language: "If you’re working in open source crypto, submit your repository here to be counted."
