GenLayer Simulator

👀 About

This Simulator is an interactive sandbox designed for developers to explore the potential of the GenLayer Protocol. It replicates the GenLayer network's execution environment and consensus algorithm, but offers a controlled and local environment to test different ideas and behaviors.

Prerequisites

Before installing the GenLayer CLI, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Docker: Required to run the GenLayer environment. Required version: Docker 26+
• Node.js and npm: Needed for the GenLayer CLI tool. Required version: Node.js 18+

🛠️ Installation and usage

$ npm install -g genlayer
$ genlayer init

To run genlayer again just run:

$ genlayer up

After executing those commands a new tab will open in your browser with the GenLayer Simulator. Additional installation instructions can be found here

🚀 Key Features

• 🖥️ Test Locally: Developers can test Intelligent Contracts in a local environment, replicating the GenLayer network without the need for deployment. This speeds up the development cycle and reduces the risk of errors in the live environment.

• 🧪 Versatile Scenario Testing: The simulator allows developers to create and test contracts under various simulated network conditions. This includes stress testing under high transaction loads, simulating network delays, and testing different consensus outcomes.

• 🔄 Changeable LLM Validators: Developers can modify the large language models (LLMs) used by validators within the simulator. This allows for testing of security, efficiency, and accuracy by running different LLMs to validate transactions.
