mixin

The Mixin BFT-DAG network reference implementation, the Trusted Execution Environment is not integrated into this repository yet.

Get Started

Install golang and setup GOPATH following this guide https://golang.org/doc/install.

$ git clone https://github.com/MixinNetwork/mixin.git
$ cd mixin
$ go build

The mixin command is both the kernel node and tools to communicate with the node RPC interface.

Mixin Kernel Address

Mixin Kernel address are a pair of ed25519 keys, following the CryptoNote protocol. To create a new address use the createaddress command.

$ mixin createaddress

address:	XINJkpCdwVk3qFqmS3AAAoTmC5Gm2fR3iRF7Rtt7hayuaLXNrtztS3LGPSxTmq5KQh3KJ2qYXYE5a9w8BWXhZAdsJKXqcvUr
view key:	568302b687a2fa3e8853ff35d99ffdf3817b98170de7b51e43d0dcf4fe30470f
spend key:	7c2b5c97278ed371d75610cccd9681af31b0d99be4adc2d66983f3c455fc9702

Share the address to receive assets from other Mixin Kernel addresses, and keep view key and spend key privately and securely.

Both the view key and spend key are required to spend the assets received from others, and the view key itself is sufficient to decode and view all the transactions sent to address.

Sign and Send Raw Transaction

Basic Mixin Kernel transaction is similar to the transaction in Bitcoin, with following format.

{
  "version": 5,
  "asset": "a99c2e0e2b1da4d648755ef19bd95139acbbe6564cfb06dec7cd34931ca72cdc",
  "extra": "34366362393932382d653636632d343966392d386165632d366462366137346666663638",
  "outputs": [
    {
      "type": 0,
      "amount": "115.06849309",
      "script": "fffe01",
      "accounts": [
        "XINPXu5NBXszhpZDRJ8iA26TbQ2oWTSq1tXqKKeVeYWgLSz8yXGTtVhMogynYytoMewYVFR541wauLhy1YV33zg445E49YA7"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "inputs": [
    {
      "hash": "20001842d6eff5129c11f7c053bf1209f0267bf223f1681c9cb9d19fc773a692",
      "index": 11
    }
  ]
}

This is the same UTXO model used in Bitcoin, but with different field names. Among them version, type and script should not be modified unless you know some advanced topics.

Compact the raw transaction JSON and sign it with the private view and spend key as following.

$ mixin -n mixin-node:8239 signrawtransaction \
    -key 0d48c96d383d325a97eea5295cbf3afa7766c49db477b68fd8032ff7f59b0b00d77e434f96f3f42c2d1796662c7cc90497feaf3863a5815f27ba49fd5e29b906 \

Start a Kernel Node

To start a node, create a directory mixin for the config and network data files, then put the genesis.json, nodes.json and config.toml files in it.

The main net genesis.json, nodes.json and an example config.example.toml files can be obtained from here, you only need to put your own signer spend key in the config.toml file.

Change the consensus-only option to false will allow the node to start in archive mode, which syncs all the graph data.

$ mixin help kernel

NAME:
   mixin kernel - Start the Mixin Kernel daemon

USAGE:
   mixin kernel [command options] [arguments...]

OPTIONS:
   --dir value, -d value   the data directory
   --port value, -p value  the peer port to listen (default: 7239)

Local Test Net

This will set up a minimum local test net, with all nodes in a single device.

$ mixin setuptestnet
=>
network:    331c1956ffb45db8a61d30a2a16e3eb0a263b844a6781253acaa07dc4ad555a8

spend key:  109c54394e977d46c2c6385faf05b4a25024ddb476588529b889f6d71912ab0b

The output above indicates the network id and default custodian key for the test net. The custodian key should be kept well for future deposit of the test net.

To boot the test net, just launch the node with each configuration directory.

$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6861
$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6862
$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6863
$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6864
$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6865
$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6866
$ mixin kernel -dir /tmp/mixin-6867

Then we can generate a test address and deposit some money into the address.
