neo-go

Go Node and SDK for the NEO blockchain.

Overview

This project aims to be a full port of the original C# NEO project. A complete toolkit for the NEO blockchain, including:

• consensus node
• RPC node & client
• RPC client
• CLI tool
• Smart contract compiler
• NEO virtual machine

Getting started

Installation

Install dependencies.

neo-go uses dep as its dependency manager. After installing deps you can run:

make deps

How to setup a node

Docker

Each tagged build is built to docker hub and the :latest tag pointing at the latest tagged build.

By default the CMD is set to run a node on testnet, so to do this simply run:

 docker run -d --name neo-go -p 20332:20332 -p 20333:20333 cityofzion/neo-go

Which will start a node on testnet and expose the nodes port 20333 and 20332 for the JSON-RPC server.

Building

Build the neo-go CLI:

make build

Quick start a NEO node on the private network. This requires the neo-privatenet Docker image running on your machine.

make run

To run the binary directly:

./bin/neo-go node -seed 127.0.0.1:20333,127.0.0.1:20334

By default the node will run on the private network, to change his:

./bin/neo-go node --mainnet

Available network flags:

• --mainnet, -m
• --privnet, -p
• --testnet, -t

If you want in-depth customization for your node, there are yaml config files for each network available in the config directory. Those files are automaticly loaded, corresponding the provided netmode flag.

Writing smart contracts in Go

In depth documentation about the neo-go compiler and smart contract examples can be found inside the compiler package.

Compile a smart contract

./bin/neo-go contract compile -i mycontract.go

By default the filename will be the name of your .go file with the .avm extension, the file will be located in the same directory where you called the command from. If you want another location for your compiled contract:

./bin/neo-go contract compile -i mycontract.go --out /Users/foo/bar/contract.avm

Debugging your smart contract

You can dump the opcodes generated by the compiler with the following command:

./bin/neo-go contract opdump -i mycontract.go

This will result in something like this:

INDEX    OPCODE    DESC
0        0x52      OpPush2
1        0xc5      OpNewArray
2        0x6b      OpToAltStack
3        0x 0      OpPush0
4        0x6c      OpFromAltStack
5        0x76      OpDup
6        0x6b      OpToAltStack
7        0x 0      OpPush0
8        0x52      OpPush2
9        0x7a      OpRoll
10       0xc4      OpSetItem
