VCP Sidecar Guide Now Includes Production-Ready Implementation Code

We are pleased to announce a major update to the vcp-sidecar-guide repository. This release includes production-ready implementation code for both MQL5 and Python, enabling developers to integrate VCP v1.0 compliant audit trails into their trading systems immediately.

What's New

Production-Ready Source Code

The repository now includes fully functional implementations:

├── mql5/
│   ├── vcp_mql_bridge_v1_0.mqh    # ~850 lines
│   └── README.md
└── python/
    ├── vcp_sidecar_adapter_v1_0.py # ~700 lines
    ├── requirements.txt
    └── README.md

Working Examples

Complete, runnable examples demonstrating real-world usage:

│   └── ExampleEA.mq5              # Full EA with MA Crossover strategy
└── python/
    └── example_usage.py           # 7 comprehensive examples

VCP v1.0 Specification Compliance

Both implementations are fully compliant with VCP v1.0:

These implementations are ready for VC-Certified (Silver) conformance testing.

Quick Start

Python

from vcp_sidecar_adapter_v1_0 import VCPEventFactory, VCPEventSerializer, Tier

factory = VCPEventFactory(venue_id="MY_VENUE", tier=Tier.SILVER)

signal = factory.create_signal_event(
    symbol="XAUUSD",
    account_id="12345",
    algo_id="MY_ALGO",
    algo_version="1.0.0",
    confidence="0.85"
)

print(VCPEventSerializer.to_json(signal, indent=2))

MQL5

#include <VCP/vcp_mql_bridge_v1_0.mqh>

int OnInit()
{
    VCP_CONFIG config;
    config.api_key = InpVCPApiKey;
    config.endpoint = "https://api.veritaschain.org";
    config.venue_id = "MY_VENUE";
    config.tier = VCP_TIER_SILVER;
    config.async_mode = true;
    
    VCP_Initialize(config);
    return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

Key Features

Who Should Use This

• Prop trading firms implementing VCP for transparency
• MT4/MT5 white-label operators requiring audit trails
• EA developers adding cryptographic logging
• Compliance teams preparing for VC-Certified audits
• RegTech developers building on VCP infrastructure

Sample Output

Events generated by these implementations produce VCP v1.0 compliant JSON:

What's Next

We are continuing to expand VCP tooling:

• TypeScript SDK — Coming Q1 2026
• C++ implementation — For HFT environments
• Conformance test suite — Automated VC-Certified validation
