Note: The project is currently at the prototype stage and does not contain full functionality. Codebase uploaded only for demonstration purpose. The main branch is configured to interact with v1.5.8-testnet. For production usage, please visit Drand Golang implementation
We aim to enhance the robustness and security of linked nodes by mitigating the risk of a single point of failure associated with software implementation. Additionally, we are exploring the opportunities of the system in terms of Rust language features.
- General picture of implemented modules mapped into two phases of public randomness. Aligned to be compatible with v1.5.8 drand golang implementation.
Binaries in make_demo folder can be reused or obtained in next 2 steps:
- Compile project using one of the features to specify backend:
cargo build --release --features arkworks
# or
cargo build --release --features blstrs- Download golang binary v1.5.8-testnest (tested on linux amd64)
Rename binaries into drand_go and drand_rs accordingly and place them into make_demo folder.
Execute ./run script to start Setup and Generation. Script configured to perform next scenario
Setup and Generation:
Group: 4 nodes Scheme beacon id
leader: golang impl (1 node) pedersen-bls-chained AAA
members: rust impl (3 nodes) pedersen-bls-unchained BBB
bls-unchained-g1-rfc9380 CCC
Number of nodes can be modified for various scenaries, for example:
Setup and Generation:
Group: 4 nodes Scheme beacon id
leader: golang impl (1 node) pedersen-bls-chained AAA
members: rust impl (3 nodes)
Group: 7 nodes Scheme beacon id
leader: golang impl (1 node) pedersen-bls-unchained BBB
members: rust impl (6 nodes)
Group: 10 nodes Scheme beacon id
leader: golang impl (1 node) bls-unchained-g1-rfc9380 CCC
members: rust impl (9 nodes)
