# Overview
|
|
|
|
This project aims to be a full port of the original C# [Neo project](https://github.com/neo-project).
|
|
A complete toolkit for the NEO blockchain, including:
|
|
|
|
- [Consensus node](docs/consensus.md)
|
|
- [RPC node & client](docs/rpc.md)
|
|
- [CLI tool](docs/cli.md)
|
|
- [Smart contract compiler](docs/compiler.md)
|
|
- [NEO virtual machine](docs/vm.md)
|
|
- [Smart contract examples](examples/README.md)
|
|
|
|
This branch (**master**) is under active development now (read: won't work
|
|
out of the box) and aims to be compatible with Neo 3. For the current stable
|
|
version compatible with Neo 2 please refer to the [**master-2.x**
|
|
branch](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/tree/master-2.x) and releases
|
|
before 0.80.0 (**0.7X.Y** track). Releases starting from 0.90.0 contain
|
|
Neo 3 code (0.90.0 being compatible with Neo 3 preview2).
|
|
|
|
# Getting started
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
NeoGo is distributed as a single binary that includes all the functionality
|
|
provided (but smart contract compiler requires Go compiler to operate). You
|
|
can grab it from [releases
|
|
page](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/releases), use a Docker image (see
|
|
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/nspccdev/neo-go) for various releases of
|
|
NeoGo, `:latest` points to the latest release) or build yourself.
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
To build NeoGo you need Go 1.14+ and `make`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The resulting binary is `bin/neo-go`.
|
|
|
|
## Running a node
|
|
|
|
A node needs to connect to some network, either local one (usually referred to
|
|
as `privnet`) or public (like `mainnet` or `testnet`). Network configuration
|
|
is stored in a file and NeoGo allows you to store multiple files in one
|
|
directory (`./config` by default) and easily switch between them using network
|
|
flags.
|
|
|
|
To start Neo node on private network use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./bin/neo-go node
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or specify a different network with appropriate flag like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./bin/neo-go node --mainnet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Available network flags:
|
|
- `--mainnet, -m`
|
|
- `--privnet, -p`
|
|
- `--testnet, -t`
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
By default the `CMD` is set to run a node on `privnet`, so to do this simply run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d --name neo-go -p 20332:20332 -p 20331:20331 nspccdev/neo-go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which will start a node on `privnet` and expose node's ports `20332` (P2P
|
|
protocol) and `20331` (JSON-RPC server).
|
|
|
|
### Importing mainnet/testnet dump files
|
|
|
|
If you want to jump-start your mainnet or testnet node with [chain archives
|
|
provided by NGD](https://sync.ngd.network/) follow these instructions (when
|
|
they'd be available for 3.0 networks):
|
|
```
|
|
$ wget .../chain.acc.zip # chain dump file
|
|
$ unzip chain.acc.zip
|
|
$ ./bin/neo-go db restore -m -i chain.acc # for testnet use '-t' flag instead of '-m'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The process differs from the C# node in that block importing is a separate
|
|
mode, after it ends the node can be started normally.
|
|
|
|
## Running a private network
|
|
|
|
Refer to [consensus node documentation](docs/consensus.md).
|
|
|
|
## Smart contract development
|
|
|
|
Please refer to [neo-go smart contract development
|
|
workshop](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go-sc-wrkshp) that shows some
|
|
simple contracts that can be compiled/deployed/run using neo-go compiler, SDK
|
|
and private network. For details on how Go code is translated to Neo VM
|
|
bytecode and what you can and can not do in smart contract please refer to the
|
|
[compiler documentation](docs/compiler.md).
|
|
|
|
Refer to [examples](examples/README.md) for more NEO smart contract examples
|
|
written in Go.
|
|
|
|
## Wallets
|
|
|
|
NeoGo differs substantially from C# implementation in its approach to
|
|
wallets. NeoGo wallet is just a
|
|
[NEP-6](https://github.com/neo-project/proposals/blob/68398d28b6932b8dd2b377d5d51bca7b0442f532/nep-6.mediawiki)
|
|
file that is used by CLI commands to sign various things. There is no database
|
|
behind it, the blockchain is the database and CLI commands use RPC to query
|
|
data from it. At the same time it's not required to open the wallet on RPC
|
|
node to perform various actions (unless your node is providing some service
|
|
for the network like consensus or oracle nodes).
|
|
|
|
# Developer notes
|
|
Nodes have such features as [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/go-application) and
|
|
[Pprof](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/) in order to have additional information about them for debugging.
|
|
|
|
How to configure Prometheus or Pprof:
|
|
In `config/protocol.*.yml` there is
|
|
```
|
|
Prometheus:
|
|
Enabled: true
|
|
Port: 2112
|
|
```
|
|
where you can switch on/off and define port. Prometheus is enabled and Pprof is disabled by default.
