The KYVE consensus layer is the backbone of the KYVE ecosystem. This layer is a sovereign Delegated Proof of Stake network built using the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT (BFT Consensus).

The main branch always contains the latest commits during development. Check out the /release/v1.x.x branches for stable releases.

make build

You can find the kyved binary in the ./build directory.

If you need binaries for alternative architectures than your host:

make release ENV=mainnet

The different binaries can be found in the ./release directory.

If you want to build the binary for the Kaon testnet, you will need to specify its build environment. This is important because mainnet and testnet use different denoms for the native token.

make build ENV=kaon

You can verify the build information using the following command:

kyved info

To create a regular kyve-network/kyve:${VERSION} docker image with kyved binary only execute:

make docker-image

To create the corresponding debug image containing a sh shell execute make docker-image-debug.

To create a nonroot docker image kyve-network/kyve:${VERSION}-nonroot running with user nonroot:65532:

make docker-image-nonroot

To create the corresponding debug image kyve-network/kyve:${VERSION}-debug-nonroot execute make docker-image-debug-nonroot.
