BandChain - Decentralized Data Delivery Network
BandChain is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. It is designed to be compatible with most smart contract and blockchain development frameworks. It does the heavy lifting jobs of pulling data from external sources, aggregating them, and packaging them into the format that’s easy to use and verifiable efficiently across multiple blockchains.
Band's flexible oracle design allows developers to query any data including real-world events, sports, weather, random numbers and more. Developers can create custom-made oracles using WebAssembly to connect smart contracts with traditional web APIs within minutes.
Please refer to this documentation for the most up-to-date installation guide.
We recommend the following for running a BandChain Validator:
- 2 or more CPU cores
- 8 GB of RAM (16 GB in case on participate in mainnet upgrade)
- At least 100GB of disk storage
Step 1. Install Golang
Go v1.18+ or higher is required for BandChain.
If you haven't already, install Golang by following the official docs. Make sure that your GOPATH and GOBIN environment variables are properly set up.
Step 2. Get BandChain source code
Use git to retrieve BandChain from the official repo, and checkout the master branch, which contains the latest stable release. That should install the bandd binary.
git clone https://github.com/bandprotocol/chain
cd chain && git checkout v2.5.4
make installStep 3. Verify your installation
Using bandd version command to verify that your bandd has been build successfully.
