Project Concord is a highly scalable and energy-efficient distributed trust infrastructure for consensus and smart contract execution.
The core engine of project Concord is concord-bft, a generic state machine replication library that can handle malicious (byzantine) replicas. This library is designed to be used as a core building block for replicated distributed data stores, and is especially suited to serve as the basis of permissioned Blockchain systems. Its implementation is based on the algorithm described in the paper SBFT: a Scalable Decentralized Trust Infrastructure for Blockchains.
We plan to release updates in a quarterly schedule. The next releases will include: optimized State transfer modules with rocksdb integration, configuration and key generation tools, generic key-value interface, and execution engine for EVM smart contracts. We also plan to support Windows, OS X, and additional Linux distributions.
The concord-bft project team welcomes contributions from the community.

# NOTE: This will add concord-bft/scripts/linux to PATH
#
. scripts/linux/set-env.sh release
#
# ...so you can invoke the make script as follows
#
make.sh
For debug builds use:
. scripts/linux/set-env.sh debug
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
Go to the build directory (here <buildtype>
is either release
or debug
)
cd ~/builds/concord-bft/<build-type>/bftengine/tests/simpleTest/scripts
./testReplicasAndClient.sh
# Or, you can alternatively do: ./runReplicas.sh followed by ./runClient.sh
