Stellar Consensus Protocol in Typescript for Tixl

This should be considered a prototype which is WIP. The consensus algorithm is only one part of the Tixl core. We decided to make it open source because we don't see a significant risk of somebody stealing the code and using it for another privacy coin. You will see a lot of commits in this repository over the next weeks. We think that combined with the commit messages of the other repositories being pushed into Discord, a good overview of our technical progress is given.

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. yarn to install
3. yarn cli to run a simulation

You can pass command line arguments.:

• --help show all arguments
• -s --slot Select slot for this run (default 1)
• -r --runs Set count of runs. (default 1)
• -x --mindelay Set lower bound of message delay in ms (default 50)
• -y --maxdelay Set upper bound of message delay in ms (default 100)
• -g --seed Set the seed for the random numbers
• --debug true Show advanced logs

Example:
yarn cli -x 1000 -y 5000 --debug true

Configuration

You can define the slices of the nodes in the config.toml file. Default is each four nodes A,B,C,D and each needs agreement with two other of those nodes.

Federated Byzantine Agreement System Visualisation

If you want to see the visualization for the FBAS follow these steps:

• git checkout b20658a7f80c4fda4e5c15aed60b01707d4691f4
• yarn in both folders
• yarn start in both folders
• Open multiple tabs in browser to run multiple clients
