Build UniChain Node

Prepare dependencies

• JDK 1.8 (JDK 1.9+ are not supported yet)
• On Linux Ubuntu system (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS), ensure that the machine has Oracle JDK 8, instead of having Open JDK 8 in the system. If you are building the source code by using Open JDK 8, you may get fails

Build UniChain node

git clone https://github.com/uniworld-io/unichain-core.git
# checkout to stable version 
cd unichain-core
./gradlew build

Binary files located in build/libs folder.

Run UniChain Local Node

Config preparation

You can create your own local UniChain blockchain network for testing or developing purposes. To create local network, some config must be changed. You can get the config file in src/main/resouces/config.conf. The following demostration the network with two witness nodes.

• Config for witness 1 (config1.conf)

...
seed.node = {
  ip.list = [
    "127.0.0.1:5525"
  ]
}

...
genesis.block = {
  # Initial balance, change this address to your address
  assets = [
    {
      accountName = "Unichain"
      accountType = "AssetIssue"
      address = "UaKMBcTKBDP4EgUwbRG3SontVEdV8ZgkoA"
      balance = "1000000000000000"
    },
    //don't care about this account
    {
      accountName = "BurnAccount"
      accountType = "AssetIssue"
      address = "UW7neBCwwkgirGXiPXDxCbYXh8r5v4VJAT"
      balance = "-1500000000000000"
    }
  ]
  
  #Initial witness, You must change address to your address
  witnesses = [
    {
      address: USUUQXSKDyoeucNPJQL4oF9k1Jp4DcFFTp,
      url = "https://your_website.com",
      voteCount = 5000005
    },
    {
      address: UjozYP3LSMu1ZamZPPVGZt2FJA9AZ6Mib2,
      url = "https://your_another_website.com",
      voteCount = 5000001
    }
  ]

}
...

block = {
  needSyncCheck = false
  ...
}

• Config for witness 2 (config2.conf)

...
node {
    ...
  listen.port = 5526
  ...
}
...
http {
    fullNodePort = 6637
    solidityPort = 7750
  }

  rpc {
    port = 8865
}

...
seed.node = {
  ip.list = [
    "127.0.0.1:5525"
  ]
}

...
genesis.block = {
  # Initial balance, change this address to your address
  assets = [
    {
      accountName = "Unichain"
      accountType = "AssetIssue"
      address = "UaKMBcTKBDP4EgUwbRG3SontVEdV8ZgkoA"
      balance = "1000000000000000"
    },
    //don't care about this account
    {
      accountName = "BurnAccount"
      accountType = "AssetIssue"
      address = "UW7neBCwwkgirGXiPXDxCbYXh8r5v4VJAT"
      balance = "-1500000000000000"
    }
  ]
  
  #Initial witness, You must change address to your address
  witnesses = [
    {
      address: USUUQXSKDyoeucNPJQL4oF9k1Jp4DcFFTp,
      url = "https://your_website.com",
      voteCount = 5000005
    },
    {
      address: UjozYP3LSMu1ZamZPPVGZt2FJA9AZ6Mib2,
      url = "https://your_another_website.com",
      voteCount = 5000001
    }
  ]

}
...

block = {
  needSyncCheck = true
  ...
}

You can use UniChain-JS to generate the private key and address.

const Unichain = require('@uniworld/unichain-js')
const crypto = require('crypto')
crypto.randomBytes(32, (err, buf) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  const privateKey = buf.toString('hex')
  const address    = Unichain.address.fromPrivateKey(privateKey)
  console.log('private key: ', privateKey)
  console.log('address:', address)
})

For convenience, We generated some key/address which are used in config above

Run network with two witness nodes

• Witness 1

java -jar unichain-core -c ./config1.conf --witness -p e5a74cd1e72f2f67ec12af0e3e41d5da7db891046351d2000fec7597d79c758a

• Witness 2

java -jar unichain-core -c ./config2.conf --witness -p a86cb4c5ccaee3d598ceead01d33a58387f557b8b57447720cde44b584de5a70

Network is up an running now. You can check the running logs at logs/unichain.log and start communicating with the network
