EpicChain-CPP-Engine

Overview

EpicChain-CPP-Engine is the C++ core engine for the EpicChain blockchain platform. It provides a foundational implementation of the blockchain's core functionalities and is designed to work seamlessly with the EpicChain ecosystem, including integrations with JavaScript-based tools and libraries.

Getting Started

Cloning the Repository

To get started, clone the repository and initialize submodules:

git clone https://github.com/epicchain/EpicChain-CPP-Engine.git
cd EpicChain-CPP-Engine
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule update --recursive

Building and Testing

EpicChain-CPP-Engine is in the prototype stage but is already quite advanced. To build and test the C++ and JavaScript implementations:

• For C++ Implementation:

  • Build the project by running:

    make

  • Run the built application:

    ./build/app_main

• For JavaScript Implementation:

  • Build and run the tests by executing:

    make jstest

  • This command will build everything and run node_test.js.

Dependencies

EpicChain-CPP-Engine relies on several key external libraries:

• BigInteger Library:

  • C++: Uses csBigInteger-cpp, which depends on GNU MP (GMP) or optionally Mono BigInteger.
  • JavaScript: Utilizes csBigInteger.js, which uses bn.js.

• Cryptography Library:

  • C++: Incorporates libcrypton, which uses OpenSSL or optionally Crypto++ from Wei Dai.
  • JavaScript: Employs crypto-js for SHA256 and may use elliptic for elliptic curve operations.
