Get Started

Pioplat is a scalable and customizable framework for reducing blockchain latency that excels with light weight, efficiency, and low cost. It is an open-sourced, distributed, elastic framework for winning the blockchain latency war. Currently, it only supports Binance Smart Chain (bsc) is supported, Ethereum (eth) and Polygon(matic) will be supported in the future.

BSC

The Pioplat system consists of two classes of nodes, first a Pioplat full node, which is a modified bsc used to support relay nodes, which can be any number, and the more deployed, the lower the latency.

Build

build modified full node

git clone https://github.com/wangtsiao/bsc-pioplat.git
cd bsc-pioplat
make geth

After that you should refer to the BSC documentation to get this full node up and running. It is recommended to use snapshot, which greatly reduces the time to synchronize to the latest state.

build relay node

git clone https://github.com/wangtsiao/pioplat.git
cd pioplat-core/cmd/piobsc
go build

You should deploy these relay nodes on different continents so that you can minimize latency as low as possible.

TLS certificate

Generate a self-signed certificate for TLS secure communication between the relay node and the full node. Here is an example with my information.

# 1. Generate CA's private key and self-signed certificate
# password: set anything you want
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -days 365 -keyout ca-key.pem -out ca-cert.pem -subj "/C=CN/ST=Beijing/L=Beijing/O=Peking University/OU=Education/CN=*.pku.edu.cn/emailAddress=wangtsiao@stu.pku.edu.cn"
openssl x509 -in ca-cert.pem -noout -text


# 2. Generate web server's private key and CSR
# password: set anything you want
openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout server-key.pem -out server-req.pem -subj "/C=CN/ST=Beijing/L=Beijing/O=Pioplat/OU=Computer/CN=*.pioplat.cloud/emailAddress=office@pioplat.cloud"


# 3. Sign the web server's certificate request
# write below info to server-ext.cnf file
# subjectAltName=DNS:*.pioplat.cloud,IP:0.0.0.0
openssl x509 -req -in server-req.pem -days 60 -CA ca-cert.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -CAcreateserial -out server-cert.pem -extfile server-ext.cnf

# remove key password
openssl rsa -in [original.key] -out [new.key]

Set up

The necessary parameters are located in the config.toml file. You can customize these parameters.

DisguiseServerUrl = "<full node ip and port>" # Network address of the full node
PioplatServerListenAddr = "0.0.0.0:port" # Port for communication between relay nodes
PioplatAesKeyIvHex = "0xe7fb42c1326792d0647d108f4fbbafcfd84ac07fdbbb770a760b15892574222e" # AES-CTR Key and IV for secure communication between relay nodes
PioplatRpcAdminSecret = "dvXHCxTswxPsRjvtCfRdEUMbSll4tSm7" # the http token parameter of the relay node
