persistenceCore

This project implements an application for the Persistence Core chain that all the other chains in the ecosystem connect to as a raised and open moderator for interoperability, shared security, and as a gateway to other ecosystems and chains.

Hardware Requirements

• Minimal
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 25 GB HDD
  • 1.4 GHz CPU
• Recommended
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 100 GB HDD
  • 2.0 GHz x2 CPU

NOTE: SSDs have limited TBW before non-catastrophic data errors. Running a full node requires a TB+ writes per day, causing rapid deterioration of SSDs over HDDs of comparable quality.

Operating System

• Linux/Windows/MacOS(x86)
• Recommended
  • Linux(x86_64)

Installation Steps

Prerequisite: Go 1.21.0+ required. ref

Prerequisite: git. ref

Optional requirement: GNU make. ref

• Clone git repository

git clone https://github.com/persistenceOne/persistenceCore.git

• Checkout release tag

git fetch --tags
git checkout [vX.X.X]

• Install

cd persistenceCore
make all

Generate keys

persistenceCore keys add [key_name]

or

persistenceCore keys add [key_name] --recover to regenerate keys with your BIP39 mnemonic

Connect to a chain and start node

• Install persistenceCore application
• Initialize node

persistenceCore init [NODE_NAME]

• Replace ${HOME}/.persistenceCore/config/genesis.json with the genesis file of the chain.
• Add persistent_peers or seeds in ${HOME}/.persistenceCore/config/config.toml
• Start node

persistenceCore start

Initialize a new chain and start node

• Initialize: persistenceCore init [node_name] --chain-id [chain_name]
• Add key for genesis account persistenceCore keys add [genesis_key_name]
• Add genesis account persistenceCore add-genesis-account [genesis_key_name] 10000000000000000000stake
• Create a validator at genesis persistenceCore gentx [genesis_key_name] 10000000stake --chain-id [chain_name]
• Collect genesis transactions persistenceCore collect-gentxs
• Start node persistenceCore start
• To start rest server set enable=true in config/app.toml under [api] and restart the chain

Ledger Support

NOTE: If you are using Cosmos Ledger app: Persistence uses coin-type 750; generating keys through this method below will create keys with coin-type 118(cosmos) and will only be supported by CLI and not by current or future wallets.

• Install the Persistence application on the Ledger device. ref
• Connect the Ledger device to a system with persistenceCore binary and open the Persistence application on it.
• Add key

persistenceCore keys add [key_name] --ledger

• Sign transaction

persistenceCore tx [transaction parameters] --ledger

Reset chain

rm -rf ~/.persistenceCore

Shutdown node

killall persistenceCore

Check version

persistenceCore version
