GSy Decentralized Energy Exchange

The GSy Decentralized Energy Exchange (DEX) aims to revolutionize the way energy is traded and managed by leveraging the power of distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain, and advanced distributed runtime functionalities.

The target of the decentralized energy exchange is to design, develop, and implement a robust, secure, and efficient platform for energy trading in a decentralized environment.

The GSy Decentralized Energy Exchange can effectively facilitate peer-to-peer energy trading, optimize energy consumption and generation, and ultimately contribute to a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure.

Installation Instructions

Follow the steps below to set up the GSy Decentralized Energy Exchange locally.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following software installed on your system before proceeding:

Git - Download and install Git
Rust (Install Rust programming language and Cargo, its package manager)

Clone the Repository

First, clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/gridsingularity/gsy-decentralized-exchange

Navigate to the Project Directory

Change to the project's directory using the command:

cd gsy-decentralized-exchange

Build & Run the Project services

GSy Node

cd gsy-node

Use the following command to build the node without launching it:

cargo build --release

Use Rust's native cargo run command to build and launch the gsy-node:

cargo run --release -- --dev --tmp

or if you have already built using cargo build you can launch the gsy-node using the following command:

./target/release/gsy-node --dev --tmp

Run Service using Docker Compose

First, install Docker and Docker Compose.

Build and tag the docker image:

docker build -t gsy_dex_image .
docker tag gsy_dex_image:latest gsy_dex_image:staging

and start docker-compose:

docker-compose up
