XuperUnion, the first open source project of XuperChain, introduces a highly flexible blockchain architecture with great transaction performance.
XuperUnion is the underlying solution for union networks with following highlight features:
-
High Performance
- Creative XuperModel technology makes contract execution and verification run parallelly.
- TDPoS ensures quick consensus in a large scale network.
- WASM VM using AOT technology.
-
Solid Security
- Contract account protected by multiple private keys ensures assets safety.
- Flexible authorization system supports weight threshold, AK sets and could be easily extended.
-
High Scalability
- Robust P2P network supports a large scale network with thousands of nodes.
- Branch management on ledger makes automatic convergence consistency and supports global deployment.
-
Multi-Language Support: Support pluggable multi-language contract VM using XuperBridge technology.
-
Flexibility: Modular and pluggable design provides high flexibility for users to build their blockchain solutions for various business scenarios.
- OS Support: Linux and Mac OS
- Go 1.12.x or later
- G++ 4.8.x or later
- Git
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/xuperchain/xuperunion
Enter the xuperunion folder and build the code:
make
Note that if you are using Go 1.11 or later, go modules are used to download 3rd-party dependencies by default. You can also disable go modules and use the prepared dependencies under vendor folder.
Run test:
make test
There is an output folder if build successfully. Enter the output folder, create a default chain firstly:
./xchain-cli createChain
By doing this, a blockchain named "xuper" is created, you can find the data of this blockchain at ./data/blockchain/xuper/.
Then start the node and run XuperUnion full node servers:
nohup ./xchain &
By default, the xuper chain will produce a block every 3 seconds, try the following command to see the trunkHeight of chain and make sure it's growing.
./xchain-cli status
