Raiden is a proposed extension to Ethereum which scales-out asset transfer capacity in the network. It is inspired by the Lightning Network which leverages off-chain asset transfers to carry out the vast majority of transactions. For more information please visit http://raiden.network/.
Note: This is work in progress
You can find the installation instructions of Raiden PoC-0 on the wiki, but for the latest releases, make sure you are using the Ropsten testnet instead.
First install the system-dependecies for a successful build of the Python packages
brew install pkg-config libffi automake
Then set the environment variable for your pkg-config path to libffi
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig/
These are the currently deployed contract addresses for the Ropsten testnet:
- Netting Channel Library: 0x5208baa313256c0e703c96b06c896875b823cc11
- Channel Manager Library: 0x196da534e3860398f2d9c27cb93fb4bac69715eb
- Registry Contract: 0x32c5dab9b099a5b6c0e626c1862c07b30f58d76a
- Discovery Contract: 0x79ab17cc105e820368e695dfa547604651d02cbb
Currently we aim to create proof of concept releases weekly, not based on a certain
feature level. All proof of concept releases will have version numbers in the
0.0.x range (so PoC-1 = 0.0.1).
Install bumpversion (see https://github.com/peritus/bumpversion)
Update your master branch to the latest upstream version
git checkout master && git pull --rebase
Call the release script
prepare_poc_release.sh
This will bump the version, create a commit on a new branch poc_release_{version}, push this branch to the upstream repository and create a PR.
Follow the steps from the script to merge the PR and tag the result on the master branch, which will trigger the PyPI release.
