teku

Implementation of the Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain.

Based on the (evolving) specification.

Build Instructions

Install Prerequisites

1) Java 11

Ubuntu: sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

MacOS: brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk && brew cask install adoptopenjdk11

Other systems: [https://adoptopenjdk.net/] is very helpful.

2) Gradle

Ubuntu:

1. Download Gradle

wget https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.0-bin.zip -P /tmp
sudo unzip -d /opt/gradle /tmp/gradle-*.zip

2. Setup environment variables

Create gradle.sh in /etc/profile.d/

export GRADLE_HOME=/opt/gradle/gradle-5.0
export PATH=${GRADLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Make gradle.sh executable and source the script

sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/gradle.sh
source /etc/profile.d/gradle.sh

OSX: brew install gradle

Build and Dist

To create a ready to run distribution:

git clone https://github.com/PegaSysEng/teku.git
cd teku && ./gradlew distTar installDist

This will produce:

• a fully packaged distribution in build/distributions
• an expanded distribution, ready to run in build/install/teku

Build and Test

To build, clone this repo and run with gradle like so:

git clone https://github.com/PegaSysEng/teku.git
cd teku && ./gradlew

Or clone it manually:

git clone https://github.com/PegaSysEng/teku.git
cd teku && ./gradlew

After a successful build, distribution packages will be available in build/distributions.

Other Useful Gradle Targets

Target	Description
distTar	Builds a full distribution in build/distributions (as .tar.gz)
distZip	Builds a full distribution in build/distributions (as .zip)
installDist	Builds an expanded distribution in build/install/teku
distDocker	Builds the pegasyseng/teku docker image

Run Multiple Teku nodes

Prereqs:

• tmux

After building with ./gradlew distTar, the simplest way to run is by using this command:

cd scripts && sh run.sh -n=[NUMBER OF NODES]

Help is available for this script as well:

sh run.sh -h
Runs a simulation of Teku with NODES nodes, where NODES > 0 and NODES < 256
Usage: sh run.sh [--numNodes, -n=NODES]  [--config=/path/to/your-config.toml] [--logging, -l=OFF|FATAL|WARN|INFO|DEBUG|TRACE|ALL]
                 [--help, -h]
- If config files are specifed for specific nodes, those input files will be used to
configure their respective nodes.
- If no logging option is specified, then INFO is the default

Run in Interop Mode

An interop script is provided to create a network with Teku and a number of other clients.

Prereqs:

• tmux
• zcli
• You will need to have at least one other client built on your machine for this to work

The simplest way to run in interop mode is by using this command:

cd scripts
sh interop.sh [validator_count] [owned_validator_start_index] [owned_validator_count] [start_delay]

Help is available for this script as well:

sh interop.sh 
Runs a multiclient testnet
Usage: sh interop.sh [validator_count] [owned_validator_start_index] [owned_validator_count] [start_delay]
Example: Run multiple clients in interop mode using static peering. 16 validators and all are assigned to Teku
         sh interop.sh 16 0 16 10

Manual configuration

To configure it manually, set these options in the config.toml:

[interop]
genesisTime = 5778872 #seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
ownedValidatorStartIndex = 0
ownedValidatorCount = 8
startState = "/tmp/genesis.ssz"
privateKey = 0x00 #libp2p private key associated with this node's peerID

[deposit]

numValidators = 16

Code Style

We use Google's Java coding conventions for the project. To reformat code, run:

./gradlew spotlessApply

Code style will be checked automatically during a build.

Testing

All the unit tests are run as part of the build, but can be explicitly triggered with:

./gradlew test

Run Options

To view the run menu:

./gradlew installDist
./build/install/teku/bin/teku -h
