Developed by AxonWeb3
Axon is still in active development.
Axon is a high-performance layer2 framework with native cross-chain function. Built on top of the Overlord consensus protocol and the P2P network Tentacle , Axon supports hundreds of nodes and achieves thousands of TPS. Axon is also EVM-compatible with well-developed toolchains. Its high interoperability facilitates cross-chain communication among dApps.
Axon is compatible with Ethereum so that all of the develop utilities can be used on it directly. And the Axon CLI provides an all-in-one client which includes initialization, DevOps, cross-chain request and so on. Seeing is believing, there is a 15 minutes tutorial that will lead you to build your own chain and deploy a tiny application.
Openness and mobility are the foundation of social development, so is blockchain. Cross-chain function enhances liquidity for the web3 ecosystem. Axon develops native cross-chain communication without any bridge. Each Axon-based chain can speak to CKB, other Axon-based chains, and any IBC compatible chains. Axon will embed more cross-chain protocols in the future.
Most of the infrastructure has been done and some substantial features to be developed are as below:
- Compatible with IBC protocol.
- Design a cross-chain protocol for EVM-based chains.
- Compatible with more cross-chain protocols in the future.
Axon provides the compiled binary on the release page, and if you want to build from source code, please make sure that rust, clang, openssl, m4 have already been installed. Then execute the following command:
# Clone from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/axonweb3/axon.git && cd axon
# Run release binary
cargo run --release -- -c devtools/chain/config.toml -g devtools/chain/genesis_single_node.jsonRead the docs and follow the tutorials.
Apart from the framework, Axon has toolchains:
- Axon Faucet: the faucet for the Axon-based chains.
- Axon Explorer: a blockchain explorer for the Axon-based chains.
- Axon DevOps: includes several utilities, such as monitor, benchmark tool and so on.
All the toolchains above can be dictated by Axon CLI, an exquisite and deft command line interface. You can use Axon CLI to do anything related to Axon.
