The core implementation of the Archway protocol leverages the Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm to reward validators and creators for their contributions to the network.

The following specifications have been found to work well:

• An x86-64 (amd64) multi-core CPU (AMD / Intel);
  • Higher clock speeds are preferred as Tendermint is mostly single-threaded;
• 64GB RAM;
• 1TB NVMe SSD Storage (disk i/o is crucial);
• 100Mbps bi-directional Internet connection;

The following software should be installed on the target system:

• The Go Programming Language (https://go.dev)
• Git Distributed Version Control (https://git-scm.com)
• Docker (https://www.docker.com)
• GNU Make (https://www.gnu.org/software/make)

Clone the repository, checkout the main branch and build:

cd archway
git checkout main
make install

This will install the archwayd binary to your GOPATH.

A docker image for production purposes (no shell access):

Packages: archwayd

A docker image is also provided for test setups (shell access):

Packages: archwayd-debug
