Elixir Client for RLPx, DevP2P and Eth Wire Protocol.
If available in Hex, the package can be installed
by adding ex_wire to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[{:ex_wire, "~> 0.1.2"}]
endDocumentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/ex_wire.
For the time being, this can be used to sync the block chain from a given network (currently defaulted to Ropsten).
You can run iex -S mix and you should see:

In the future, we will continue to grow and built out a proper syncing ability. It's likely the proper interface (with CLI tools) will not be this module directly, but instead a general CLI which calls into this module.
