What is XuperUnion

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.

Quick start

Requirements

• OS Support: Linux and Mac OS
• Go 1.12.x or later
• GCC 4.8.x or later
• Git

Build

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/xuperchain/xuperunion

Note: master branch contains latest features but might be unstable. for production use, please checkout our release branch. the latest release branch is v3.1.

Enter the xuperunion folder and build the code:

cd xuperunion
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

Run

There is an output folder if build successfully. Enter the output folder, create a default chain firstly:

cd ./output
./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

Run with Docker

Build image

docker build . -t xuperunion

Run image

# run xchain daemon
docker run -d -p 37101:37101 -p 47101:47101 --rm --name xchain xuperunion
# enter running container
docker exec -ti xchain bash
# run command
./xchain-cli status

This is only a demo for local single container, you can use volume to mount and overwrite configurations.

  • 多私钥保护的账户体系。
  • 鉴权支持权重累计、集合运算等灵活的策略。

• 易扩展

  • 鲁棒的P2P网络，支持广域网超大规模节点。
  • 底层账本支持分叉管理，自动收敛一致性，实现真正全球化部署。

• 多语言开发智能合约

  • 通过原创的XuperBridge技术，可插拔多语言虚拟机。

• 高灵活性

  • 可插拔、插件化的设计使得用户可以方便选择适合自己业务场景的解决方案。

快速试用

环境配置

• 操作系统：支持Linux以及Mac OS
• 开发语言：Go 1.12.x及以上
• 编译器：GCC 4.8.x及以上
• 版本控制工具：Git

构建

克隆XuperUnion仓库

git clone https://github.com/xuperchain/xuperunion

注意: master 分支是日常开发分支，会包含最新的功能，但是 不稳定。生产环境请使用最新的已发布分支，最新的已发布分支是v3.1。

编译

cd xuperunion
make

跑单测

make test

单机版xchain

cd ./output
./xchain-cli createChain
nohup ./xchain &
./xchain-cli status

容器运行

编译镜像

docker build . -t xuperunion

运行镜像

# 运行容器 daemon
docker run -d -p 37101:37101 -p 47101:47101 --rm --name xchain xuperunion
# 进入容器
docker exec -ti xchain bash
# 运行指令
./xchain-cli status

本地容器化运行的示例，实际场景中可以用卷的方式挂载并覆盖配置。
