Manifest Ledger

Overview

The Manifest Network, built on the Cosmos SDK, is a blockchain tailored for decentralized AI infrastructure access. Initially employing a Proof of Authority (PoA) model it ensures a secure and efficient launch phase, with a trusted validator set managing consensus.

While PoA offers immediate stability and control, the Manifest Network aspires for greater decentralization. The future roadmap includes evolving towards a Proof of Stake (PoS) network, utilizing the underlying CometBft consensus mechanism inherent in the Cosmos SDK.

2. Git distributed version control - https://git-scm.com/
3. Docker - https://www.docker.com/get-started/
4. GNU Make - https://www.gnu.org/software/make/

Operating System

• Linux (x86_64) or Linux (arm64)

Arch Linux:

pacman -S go git gcc make

Ubuntu Linux:

sudo snap install go --classic
sudo apt-get install git gcc make jq

Install & Run

Clone the repository from GitHub and enter the directory:

git clone https://github.com/liftedinit/manifest-ledger.git
cd manifest-ledger

Then run:

# build the base binary for interaction
make install
mv $GOPATH/bin/manifestd /usr/local/bin
manifestd

# build docker image for e2e testing
make local-image

Testing

There are various make commands to run tests for the modules with custom implementations

To test the Proof of Authority implementation run:

make ictest-poa

To test the Token Factory implementation run:

make ictest-tokenfactory

To test the Manifest module run:

make ictest-manifest

To test the IBC implementation run:

make ictest-ibc

To test the Proof of Authority implementation where the administrator is a group run:

make ictest-group-poa

Coverage

To generate a coverage report for the modules run:

make local-image
make coverage

Helper

There are scripts for testing, installing, and initializing. Use this section to help you navigate the various scripts and their use cases.

Node Initialization script

scripts/test_node.sh

This is a script to assist with initializing and configuring a node. Ensure you properly configure the environment variables within the script.

Also in this script are examples of how you could run it

POA_ADMIN_ADDRESS=manifest1hj5fveer5cjtn4wd6wstzugjfdxzl0xp8ws9ct CHAIN_ID="local-1" HOME_DIR="~/.manifest" TIMEOUT_COMMIT="500ms" CLEAN=true sh scripts/test_node.sh
CHAIN_ID="local-2" HOME_DIR="~/.manifest2" CLEAN=true RPC=36657 REST=2317 PROFF=6061 P2P=36656 GRPC=8090 GRPC_WEB=8091 ROSETTA=8081 TIMEOUT_COMMIT="500ms" sh scripts/test_node.sh

The succesful executation of these commands will result in 2 ibc connected instances of manifestd running on your local machine.
