Getting started

The default stack contains only Geth, EthBFT, and CometBFT. Install Docker with Compose and OpenSSL, then run:

bash

git clone https://github.com/smallyunet/ethbft.git
cd ethbft
make deploy
curl http://localhost:8081/ready

Send transactions to http://localhost:8545. CometBFT transaction broadcast is disabled because its mempool is configured as nop.

Monitoring is optional:

bash

docker compose --profile observability up -d

For Rust development, install Rust 1.91+ and run make check. The single-validator Docker path is make test-e2e; the four-validator failure and catch-up path is make test-multinode-e2e.

Protocol v2 cannot reuse v0.2 chain state. Follow the destructive local-only migration command in the repository README only for a disposable network.
