Radix Babylon Node

This is the repository for the RadixDLT node, for the Babylon release and beyond.

Integrators

To run a node against our latest test environment, install docker and run ./testnet-node/run.sh. See further details on running a testnet node for development here.

Also check out the Babylon documentation for exchanges and integrators.

Subdirectories

Here we have:

• core: The core node, consensus and networking modules - written in Java. It includes a variant implementation of the HotStuff BFT-style consensus.
• core-rust-bridge: A bridge between the Java core and the Rust core-rust - written in Java. This will likely be merged into core at some point.
• core-rust: Includes the Core API, and the "State Manager" which wraps the Babylon engine - this is written in Rust. We pull in the Babylon engine from the radixdlt-scrypto repository.
• cli-tools: Various basic command line helpers to assist with spinning up nodes and networks.
• common: Common Java utilities used by various modules. This will likely be merged into core once the Olympia Engine has been removed.
• shell: Examples for how to run Radix shell, which can enable spinning up temporary interactive nodes. The Radix Shell code itself is in cli-tools.
• docker: An option for running a network of nodes locally. You can also use the "Run Single Validator" IntelliJ option.
• testnet-node: The easiest way to set up a development environment for integrators (check the README)
