A rust-based Custom VM for Avalanche Subnets

Curious about how to run Rust-based smart contracts, or just custom VMs for Avalanche blockchain? You're in the right place.

Usage

Build

cargo build

Build and run

In the landslide git root directory:

./scripts/build.sh

The script will provide instructions on how to run landslide in avalanche.

Update protobuf definitions from upstream

./scripts/update-proto.sh

Test with ava-sim

1. Export path to landslide genesis data file, in the environment variable LANDSLIDE_GENESIS_PATH
2. Export path to landslide executable in the environment variable LANDSLIDE_BIN_PATH
3. Clone https://github.com/ava-labs/ava-sim and go in the directory.
4. In ava-sim root, run:

./scripts/run.sh $LANDSLIDE_BIN_PATH "$LANDSLIDE_GENESIS_PATH"

Interact with it

Once the VM is launched, all Avalanche's TimestampVM instructions work completely drop-in: https://docs.avax.network/build/tutorials/platform/subnets/create-a-virtual-machine-vm
