nilchain

nilchain is the Coordination Layer for the Nillion Network. It coordinates the payment of blind computations and storage operations performed on the network. It is built using the Cosmos SDK, a framework for building PoS blockchain applications, which was chosen for the interconnectivity, speed, and sovereignty its ecosystem provides.

Building

make build

Cross-Compiling

Use the build-cross target to cross-compile for the following platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64, darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64. Please note that building for linux/arm64 requires an arm64-compatible version of gcc installed. On Debian-based systems, this would be aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc.
