Tellor Layer

Overview

Tellor Layer is a stand alone L1 built using the cosmos sdk for the purpose of coming to consensus on any subjective data. It works by using a network of staked parties who are crypto-economically incentivized to honestly report requested data.

For more in-depth information, checkout the Tellor Layer tech paper and our ADRs.

Starting a New Chain

1. Select the start script that works for you

• start_one_node.sh is for those who want to run a chain with a single validator in a mac environment
• start_one_node_aws.sh is for those who want a chain with a single validator and the option to import a faucet account from a seed phrase to be used in a linux environment
• start_two_chains.sh (mac environment) sets up two nodes/validators and starts one of them from this script. Then to start the other validator you would run the start_bill.sh script

1. Run the selected script from the base layer folder: sh ./start_scripts/{selected_script}
