Services

A service is like a smart contract on other chains, but has these differences:

• A service may serve either static or dynamic web pages which interact with the block chain.
• A service may provide RPC queries, GraphQL queries, and even help construct transactions. These may all rely on chain state.
• A service is often paired with an Applet, forming a bidirectional trust relationship.
• Most psibase functionality comes from services instead of from native functions.
• The term "service" is common in computer systems and doesn't imply a legal or business relationship.

Psibase services are WASM. psidk supports writing services in C++, Rust, and AssemblyScript (TODO).
