⚡ Flash ⚡

flash is a blockchain built using Cosmos SDK and Tendermint.

It uses a forked version of the Cosmos SDK (Flash SDK) with updated default consensus timeout parameters, to allow a target block production rate of ~1.7s / block

Get started

Install go

Build and install to go bin path

make install

Come up with a moniker for your node, then run:

flashd init $MONIKER

Launch with genesis file or run as standalone chain

To launch as a consumer chain, download and save shared genesis file to ~/.flash/config/genesis.json. Additionally add peering information (persistent_peers or seeds) to ~/.flash/config/config.toml

To instead launch as a standalone, single node chain, run:

flashd add-consumer-section
