Package: ShinyBlock 0.1.1

ShinyBlock: Multi-Protocol Blockchain Simulator and Enterprise Ledger Framework

An interactive framework for simulating blockchain protocols using a hybrid R-Shiny and Python architecture. The package provides tools to visualize peer-to-peer network maps, manage supply chain logistics on-chain, and execute cross-border settlements via smart contract logic. It leverages the 'reticulate' package to perform standardized cryptographic operations, including SHA-256 hashing, Merkle Tree construction, and ECDSA key generation. This tool is designed for pedagogical demonstration and rapid prototyping of distributed ledger requirements.
