Bytom

Build Status AGPL v3

Official golang implementation of the Bytom protocol.

Automated builds are available for stable releases and the unstable master branch. Binary archives are published at https://github.com/Bytom/bytom/releases.

What is Bytom?

Bytom is software designed to operate and connect to highly scalable blockchain networks confirming to the Bytom Blockchain Protocol, which allows partipicants to define, issue and transfer digitial assets on a multi-asset shared ledger. Please refer to the White Paper for more details.

In the current state bytom is able to:

  • Manage key, account as well as asset
  • Send transactions, i.e., issue, spend and retire asset

Installing with Homebrew

brew tap bytom/bytom && brew install bytom

Building from source

Requirements

  • Go version 1.8 or higher, with $GOPATH set to your preferred directory

Installation

Ensure Go with the supported version is installed properly:

$ go version
$ go env GOROOT GOPATH
  • Get the source code
$ git clone https://github.com/Bytom/bytom.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/bytom/bytom
  • Build source code
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/bytom/bytom
$ make bytomd    # build bytomd
$ make bytomcli  # build bytomcli

When successfully building the project, the bytomd and bytomcli binary should be present in cmd/bytomd and cmd/bytomcli directory, respectively.

Executables

The Bytom project comes with several executables found in the cmd directory.

Command Description
bytomd bytomd command can help to initialize and launch bytom domain by custom parameters. bytomd --help for command line options.
bytomcli Our main Bytom CLI client. It is the entry point into the Bytom network (main-, test- or private net), capable of running as a full node archive node (retaining all historical state). It can be used by other processes as a gateway into the Bytom network via JSON RPC endpoints exposed on top of HTTP, WebSocket and/or IPC transports. bytomcli --help and the bytomcli Wiki page for command line options.

Running bytom

Currently, bytom is still in active development and a ton of work needs to be done, but we also provide the following content for these eager to do something with bytom. This section won't cover all the commands of bytomd and bytomcli at length, for more information, please the help of every command, e.g., bytomcli help.

Initialize

First of all, initialize the node:

$ cd ./cmd/bytomd
$ ./bytomd init --chain_id mainnet

There are three options for the flag --chain_id:

  • mainnet: connect to the mainnet.
  • testnet: connect to the testnet wisdom.
  • solonet: standalone mode.

After that, you'll see config.toml generated, then launch the node.

launch

$ ./bytomd node
