TL;DR: Compile using Golang 1.17 with make build, and run build/ag0.
Phase 0 of the Agoric blockchain's mainnet will not have
the Agoric SDK enabled until governance
votes to turn it on. Until then, validators run ag0 to bootstrap the
chain with support for Cosmos-layer validation, staking, and governance.
This repository contains sources for the ag0 program, a fork of the
Cosmos Gaia implementation.
NOTE: Remember that ag0 is the new gaiad. You will still see many
remaining cosmetic references to gaiad in this repo.
Please refer to https://agoric.com to learn about Agoric and get involved.
The rest of the original Gaia README follows:
Gaia is the first implementation of the Cosmos Hub, built using the Cosmos SDK. Gaia and other fully sovereign Cosmos SDK blockchains interact with one another using a protocol called IBC that enables Inter-Blockchain Communication.
Check out contributing.md for our guidelines & policies for how we develop the Cosmos Hub. Thank you to all those who have contributed!
Documentation for the Cosmos Hub lives at hub.cosmos.network.
We have active, helpful communities on Twitter, Discord, and Telegram.
With each version of the Cosmos Hub, the chain is restarted from a new Genesis state.
Mainnet is currently running as cosmoshub-4. Archives of the state of cosmoshub-1, cosmoshub-2, and cosmoshub-3 are available here.
If you are looking for historical genesis files and other data cosmos/mainnet is an excellent resource.
