Event chain

The event chain is a miniature blockchain that is shared between parties involved in a process.
Each event is signed and that added referencing the previous event, forming a chain. All information of the system is derived from event chains.

Event chain schema

https://specs.livecontracts.io/v0.2.0/event-chain/schema.json#
The event chain is the only mutable component of Live Contacts in the fact that events may be added. Event chains SHOULD NOT be versioned.

$schema

The Live Contracts Event chain JSON schema URI that describes the JSON structure of the event chain.

id

A globally unique identifier for the event chain.
The event chain id MUST be calculated from public key used to sign the genesis event of the chain. The id is a base58 encoded value from the following data structure:
#

Public key hash is first 20 bytes of SecureHash of public key bytes. Checksum is first 4 bytes of SecureHash of version, random and hash bytes. SecureHash is hash function sha256(Blake2b(data)). The random number can be random number or generated from a nonce. This nonce might be the first 20 bytes of a sha256 hash of a string.
