Ulord-Sidechain-2 (USC-2) is the improvement of its ancestor — USC. The USC-2 provides the same value and functionality to the Ulord ecosystem from its ancestor. In addition, the USC-2 also improves over USC by implementing PBFT like consensus algorithm. Transactions in USC-2 can achieve finality as soon as the block has reached irreversibility i.e. 2/3 + 1 Block Producers produces blocks on top of the block containing this transaction, hence achieving deterministic transaction finality. Moreover, USC-2 implements Drivechain technology for faster 2-way pegging operations, moving funds from one chain to other and vice versa is much faster than ever.
To get started with USC-2 you can follow the same detailed guide as USC which can be found here https://github.com/UlordChain/Ulord-Sidechain/wiki
Or if you want to get started in minutes follow the below steps.
- Download and install Java 8 JDK
- Download the latest release of USC-2
- Extract USC-2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf USC-2.tar.gz
- Run configure.sh
cd USC-2/; ./configure.sh
- Run start.sh to start USC-2 node.
./start.sh
To check log you can run
tail -f logs/usc.log
To check the block height, run the following command
// Port 5288 for Testnet and 5188 for Mainnet.
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest", false],"json_rpc":"2.0", "id":1234}' localhost:5288
| UT->SUT | SUT->UT | |
|---|---|---|
| TestNet | sSdK57Gq6PFvAayySHGZSMx2GeKZjezr13 | 0x0000000000000000000000000000000001000006 |
| MainNet | 0x0000000000000000000000000000000001000006 |
To retrieve the latest federation address run the following command
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"method":"eth_call", "params":[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000001000006", "data":"0x6923fa85"}, "latest"], "id":1, "json_rpc":"2.0"}' localhost:5288
The output from the above can be decoded using HexToAscii Converter
