Project structure

• node:
  the module contains everything you need to run an EON node;

• bootstraptool:
  the module contains the tools you need if you intend to register a new sidechain and create the configuration file for it
  Usage:
  

  • obtain the jar by running mvn package [-Ppregobi] [-Pgobi]
    NOTE: The -Ppregobi OR -Pgobi suffix is needed ONLY to build a bootstrapping tool for Pregobi/Gobi testnet network. They differentiate from the default one for not applying the fee fork parameters (GasBLock limit 10ML, basefee 20 gwei) from the genesys block.
  • launch the bootstrapping tool by running: java -jar < jarname >
  • There is more convenient way of using the bootstrap tool using a docker container. The bootstrap tool docker image is built and published to zencash/evmapp-bootstraptool:[:tag]. A helper script is provided in ci/devtools: evmapp-bootstraptool. This script can be run in this way: ./ci/devtools/bootstrap_tool.sh help and can be used to generate the required keys for forger nodes and for signer nodes.
