# Quilibrium - Dawn
|
||
|
||
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/
|
||
|
||
## Quick Start
|
||
|
||
If you have a voucher from the offline ceremony, first run:
|
||
|
||
go run ./... -import-priv-key `cat /path/to/voucher.hex`
|
||
|
||
If you do not, or have already run the above, run:
|
||
|
||
go run ./...
|
||
|
||
## Purpose
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
### Rewards
|
||
|
||
For participating in a round of the ceremony, nodes will be allocated:
|
||
|
||
reward = 161 * log_2(participant_count)
|
||
|
||
### Basic Flow
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
## Pull Requests
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
## Minimum System Requirements
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
## License + Interpretation
|
||
|
||
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.
