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:

  • 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.
