Notable changes: * Rewritten transport protocols into Dialer and Listener (Nym is TODO) This simplifies using the transports a lot, as can be seen for example in src/rpc, and generally around the p2p library. It also defines features for each transport (all of which are enabled by default). We drop the socks client for Tor and Nym and use first-class support with the Arti Tor library, and nym-sphinx/nym-websockets (to be used with nym-client). * Outbound session healing The outbound session will now poll and try to fill all the requested slots more efficiently, and if needed, will activate peer discovery to find more peers if we can't connect to any known ones. Also if we're unable to connect to any, we shall drop them from our set. Additionally, transport mixing is enabled by default, so when we're allowing transport mixing, and we use Tor, we will also be able to connect to other transports that Tor can connect to (e.g. tcp://). * Unix socket transport dropped We haven't been using this, and it seems we're not going down this path, so the code has been obsoleted and removed. * TLS session verification We fully verify server and client TLS certificates upon connection so we're able to perform TLS1.3 with forward secrecy. * lilith pruning lilith now periodically prunes known peers from its sets if it's unable to connect to them.

About DarkFi
DarkFi is a new Layer 1 blockchain, designed with anonymity at the forefront. It offers flexible private primitives that can be wielded to create any kind of application. DarkFi aims to make anonymous engineering highly accessible to developers.
DarkFi uses advances in zero-knowledge cryptography and includes a contracting language and developer toolkits to create uncensorable code.
In the open air of a fully dark, anonymous system, cryptocurrency has the potential to birth new technological concepts centered around sovereignty. This can be a creative, regenerative space - the dawn of a Dark Renaissance.

Follow the installation instructions for the P2P IRC daemon.
Build
This project requires the Rust compiler to be installed. Please visit Rustup for instructions.
You have to install a native toolchain, which is set up during Rust installation, and wasm32 toolchain. To install wasm32 toolchain, execute:
% rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
Minimum Rust version supported is 1.67.0 (stable).
The following dependencies are also required:
| Dependency | Debian-based |
|---|---|
| git | git |
| make | make |
| gcc | gcc |
| pkg-config | pkg-config |
| alsa-lib | libasound2-dev |
Users of Debian-based systems (e.g. Ubuntu) can simply run the following to install the required dependencies:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -y git make gcc pkg-config libasound2-dev
Alternatively, users can try using the automated script under contrib
folder by executing:
% sh contrib/dependency_setup.sh
The script will try to recognize which system you are running, and install dependencies accordingly. In case it does not find your package manager, please consider adding support for it into the script and sending a patch.
To build the necessary binaries, we can just clone the repo, checkout to the latest tag, and use the provided Makefile to build the project:
% git clone https://github.com/darkrenaissance/darkfi
% cd darkfi && git checkout v0.4.1
% make
Development
If you want to hack on the source code, make sure to read some introductory advice in the DarkFi book.
Install
This will install the binaries on your system (/usr/local by
default). The configuration files for the binaries are bundled with the
binaries and contain sane defaults. You'll have to run each daemon once
in order for them to spawn a config file, which you can then review.
# make install
