Quilibrium is a decentralized alternative to platform as a service providers. This release, mirrored to GitHub, is the Dawn release, which contains the initial application, the MPC Powers-of-Tau Ceremony. Documentation for the underlying technology can be found at https://www.quilibrium.com/
All commands are to be run in the node/ folder.
If you have a voucher from the offline ceremony, first run:
GOEXPERIMENT=arenas go run ./... -import-priv-key `cat /path/to/voucher.hex`
If you do not, or have already run the above, run:
GOEXPERIMENT=arenas go run ./...
In order to find the peer id of a running node, execute the following command from the node/ folder:
GOEXPERIMENT=arenas go run ./... -peer-id
The peer id will be printed to stdout.
If you want to enable gRPC/REST, add the following entries to your config.yml:
listenGrpcMultiaddr: <multiaddr>
listenRESTMultiaddr: <multiaddr>
Please note: this interface, while read-only, is unauthenticated and not rate- limited. It is recommended that you only enable if you are properly controlling access via firewall or only query via localhost.
In order to query the token balance of a running node, execute the following command from the node/ folder:
GOEXPERIMENT=arenas go run ./... -balance
The confirmed token balance will be printed to stdout in QUILs.
Note that this feature requires that gRPC support is enabled.
In order to opt-in to stats collection about the health of the network, edit your config.yml in the node/.config directory to have a new section under engine:
<earlier parts of config>
engine:
statsMultiaddr: "/dns/stats.quilibrium.com/tcp/443"
<rest of config continues below>The ceremony application provides a secure reference string (SRS) from which KZG proofs can be constructed for the network. This yields applicability for a number of proof systems, in particular for the release after Dawn, the ability to provide proofs of execution, and proofs of data availability for the network.
For participating in a round of the ceremony, nodes will be allocated:
reward = 161 * log_2(participant_count) QUIL
Rounds of the ceremony follow the following order:
- OPEN: Nodes can join in for the round, deferring preference to nodes that could not join in on the prior round
- IN PROGRESS: The MPC ceremony round is in progress, nodes are engaging in a logarithmic collection of Multiplication-to-Add Oblivious Transfer circuits, each sub round producing a new collection of values, until the sub rounds have completed, producing a collection of public G1 and G2 BLS48-581 points for each peer.
- FINALIZING: The collection of points are broadcasted, and added together, producing a singular ceremony transcript contribution.
- VALIDATING: The updated ceremony transcript is validated against the predecessor, and is confirmed to be the new state, issuing rewards to the participant set. The next round can begin.

Contributions are welcome – a new network is rife with opportunities. We are in the process of updating our JIRA board so that it can be made public. The repository has basic coding guidelines:
- 80 character line limit, with the exception where gofmt or the syntax is impossible to achieve otherwise
- Error wrapping matching function names
- Interface composition and dependency injection with Wire
For the Dawn phase, a server must have a minimum of 16GB of RAM, preferably 32 GB, 250GB of storage, preferably via SSD, and 50MBps symmetric bandwidth. For Intel/AMD, the baseline processor is a Skylake processor @ 3.4GHz with 12 dedicated cores. For ARM, the M1 line of Apple is a good reference.
With Dusk, these minimum requirements will reduce significantly.
Significant portions of Quilibrium's codebase depends on GPL-licensed code, mandating a minimum license of GPL, however Quilibrium is licensed as AGPL to accomodate the scenario in which a cloud provider may wish to coopt the network software. The AGPL allows such providers to do so, provided they are willing to contribute back the management code that interacts with the protocol and node software. To provide clarity, our interpretation is with respect to node provisioning and management tooling for deploying alternative networks, and not applications which are deployed to the network, mainnet status monitors, or container deployments of mainnet nodes from the public codebase.
