OpenHack - FRAME Pallet Challenge

This project provides a hands-on introduction to Substrate's FRAME development patterns by implementing a simplified version of common blockchain pallets.

Challenge Overview

After learning about Substrate, FRAME, Runtime, and Pallets in Polkadot SDK, this coding challenge helps you understand how these components work together by implementing a simplified version of the actual architecture.

Key Concepts:

• FRAME Pallets: Libraries for building Substrate runtime, including core frame components and functional pallets
• Runtime: A collection of FRAME pallets that define blockchain logic

Project Structure

This challenge simulates three core components:

• system.rs: Foundation module similar to frame_system
• staking.rs: Token staking module similar to pallet_staking
• governance.rs: On-chain proposal system similar to pallet_collective or pallet_democracy

Runtime Configuration

The project defines a simplified runtime that configures concrete types for the generic pallets:

pub struct Runtime;

impl SystemConfig for Runtime {
    type AccountId = u64;
}

impl StakingConfig for Runtime {
    type Balance = u64;
}

impl GovernanceConfig for Runtime {
    // No additional types needed
}
