TaiyueChain is a truly fast, permissionless, secure and scalable public blockchain platform which is supported by hybrid consensus technology called Minerva and a global developer community.    TaiyueChain uses hybrid consensus combining PBFT and fPoW to solve the biggest problem confronting public blockchain: the contradiction between decentralization and efficiency.

TaiyueChain uses PBFT as fast-chain to process transactions, and leave the oversight and election of PBFT to the hands of PoW nodes. Besides, TaiyueChain integrates fruitchain technology into the traditional PoW protocol to become fPoW, to make the chain even more decentralized and fair.

TaiyueChain also creates a hybrid consensus incentive model and a stable gas fee mechanism to lower the cost for the developers and operators of DApps, and provide better infrastructure for decentralized eco-system. 

Building taiyue requires both a Go (version 1.9 or later) and a C compiler. You can install them using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run

make taiyue

or, to build the full suite of utilities:

make all

The execuable command taiyue will be found in the cmd directory.

Going through all the possible command line flags is out of scope here (please consult our CLI Wiki page), also you can quickly run your own taiyue instance with a few common parameter combos.

$ taiyue console

This command will:

• Start taiyue with network ID 19330 in full node mode(default, can be changed with the --syncmode flag after version 1.1).
• Start up taiyue's built-in interactive console, (via the trailing console subcommand) through which you can invoke all official web3 methods as well as Geth's own management APIs. This too is optional and if you leave it out you can always attach to an already running taiyue instance with taiyue attach.

To test your contracts, you can join the test network with your node.

$ taiyue --testnet console

The console subcommand has the exact same meaning as above and they are equally useful on the testnet too. Please see above for their explanations if you've skipped here.

Specifying the --testnet flag, however, will reconfigure your Geth instance a bit:

• Test network uses different network ID 18928
• Instead of connecting the main TaiyueChain network, the client will connect to the test network, which uses testnet P2P bootnodes, and genesis states.

As an alternative to passing the numerous flags to the taiyue binary, you can also pass a configuration file via:

$ taiyue --config /path/to/your_config.toml

To get an idea how the file should look like you can use the dumpconfig subcommand to export your existing configuration:

$ taiyue --your-favourite-flags dumpconfig

Maintaining your own private network is more involved as a lot of configurations taken for granted in the official networks need to be manually set up.
