Minimal Exonum blockchain example implementing a simple cryptocurrency.
See the documentation for a detailed step-by-step guide how to approach this example.
To run this example you need to install Rust compiler and third-party libraries.
To build and run a single node use:
# clone the repository with blockchain node
git clone [email protected]:exonum/cryptocurrency.git
cd cryptocurrency
# build and run a zero-configuration demo
cargo run --example demo
Now the node is listening to HTTP requests on http://localhost:8000.
When node is launched, you can use transaction examples to check that it works properly.
A simplest way to do this is launching the test.sh
script in the examples directory (for *NIX platforms), or test.ps1
in the same directory (for Windows with PowerShell installed).
The script creates two wallets, performs a transfer
between them, and then verifies that the wallet status was correctly updated.
Alternatively, you may use command-line utilities, such as curl
, to manually POST transactions
on the transaction endpoint
and read data from wallet endpoints (the wallets_info.sh
script
provides a handy way to do this).
