Rusk

The official Dusk protocol node client and smart contract platform.

Unstable : No guarantees can be made regarding the API stability, the project is in development.

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.71 nightly or higher
• GCC 13 or higher
• Clang 16 or higher

Recommended Specifications

Build and Tests

To build rusk from source, Rust, GCC and Clang are required. Once the dependencies are installed, you can simply run the following command to compile everything:

make

To run tests:

make test

That will also compile all the genesis contracts and its associated circuits.

Use

Prerequisites:

# Generate the keys used by the circuits
make keys

# Compile all the genesis contracts
make wasm

# Copy example consensus.keys
mkdir -p ~/.dusk/rusk
cp examples/consensus.keys ~/.dusk/rusk/consensus.keys

Run a single-node cluster with example's data

# Generate genesis state
cargo r --release -p rusk -- recovery-state --init examples/genesis.toml -o /tmp/example.state

# Launch a local ephemeral node
DUSK_CONSENSUS_KEYS_PASS=password cargo r --release -p rusk -- -s /tmp/example.state

Contracts compilation

To just compile all the genesis contracts without running the server:

make contracts

To generate a specific genesis contract:

# generate the wasm for `transfer` contract
make wasm for=transfer

See also make help for all the available commands

Docker support

It's also possible to run a local ephemeral node with Docker.

To build the Docker image:

docker build -t rusk .

To run Rusk inside a Docker container:

docker run -p 9000:9000/udp -p 8080:8080/tcp rusk

Port 9000 is used for Kadcast, port 8080 for the HTTP and GraphQL APIs.
