# Avalanche Simulation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Experimental simulation of the Avalanche protocol by Team Rocket. This
|
|
|
|
|
implementation is incomplete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The paper: [Snowflake to Avalanche: A Novel Metastable Consensus Protocol Family for
|
|
|
|
|
Cryptocurrencies](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUy4jh5mGNZvLkjies1RWM4YuvJh5o2FYopNPVYwrRVGV).

|
## Running the Simulation
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
./gradlew shadowJar
|
|
|
|
|
java -jar build/libs/avalanche-all.jar --dump-dags
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Visualising the DAGs
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
for f in node-0-*.dot; do dot -Tpng -O $f; done
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
The above command generates a number of PNG files `node-0-*.png`, showing the
|
|
|
|
|
evolution of the DAG. The nodes are labeled with the ID of the spent state,
|

|
|
|
the chit and confidence values. The preferred transaction of a conflict set is
|
2018-06-04 12:33:34 +00:00
|
|
|
labelled with a star. Accepted transactions are blue.
