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.

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 prefered transaction of a conflict set is labelled with a star. Accepted transactions are blue.
