This repository holds the Arweave server, as well as the App Developer Toolkit (ADT) and the Arweave testing framework, TNT/NO-VLNS.
Arweave is a distributed, cryptographically verified permanent archive built on a cryptocurrency that aims to, for the first time, provide feasible data permanence. By leveraging our novel Blockweave datastructure, data is stored in a decentralised, peer-to-peer manner where miners are incentivised to store rare data.
In order to run the Arweave server prototype and ADT, a recent (R20 and above) version of Erlang/OTP is required as well as a version of make.
To get started, simply download this repo. You can start an Arweave server
session simply by running make session.
You can learn more about building Arweave ADT apps by checking out our documentation here.
For more information on the Arweave project and to read our lightpaper visit arweave.org.
To start mining, follow the instructions in the mining guide.
- Erlang OTP v20
- GNU Make
make test
The command launches two Erlang VMs connected in the distributed mode. The master VM runs an HTTP server on the port
1984. The slave VM uses the port 1983. The data folders are data_test_master and data_test_slave accordingly. The tests
that do not depend on two VMs are run against the master VM.
make session
You can find separate documentation for the App Developer Toolkit here.
You can find documentation regarding our HTTP interface here.
