Autonity

Autonity is a generalization of the Ethereum protocol based on a fork of go-ethereum.

More about the Autonity context at https://www.autonity.io

More detailed documentation coming soon at https://docs.autonity.io

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.9 or later) - https://golang.org/dl
• A C compiler.
• Docker

Working with the source

Before working with the source you will need to run

make embed-autonity-contract

This generates go source from the autonity contract.

Building Autonity Go Client (AGC)

make autonity

Build Autonity Go Client docker image

make build-docker-image

Open a javascript console to a node

The address must be a websocket enabled rpc address.

./nodeconsole/console ws://localhost:8546

The console is run with the --experimental-repl-await flag which means that you can use await from the console prompt.

E.G:

> await autonity.getMinimumGasPrice().call()
'5000'
