The Waterfall team forked the project on October 20, 2021, and has since made its own changes.
This is the core repository for Gwat, a Golang implementation of the Waterfall Consensus specification, developed by Blue Wave Inc.
We strongly recommend installing go version 1.21.11 or later
CGO_CFLAGS="-O2 -D__BLST_PORTABLE__" go run build/ci.go install ./cmd/gwatA detailed set of installation and usage instructions as well as breakdowns of each individual component are available in the official documentation portal. If you still have questions, feel free to stop by our Discord.
To participate in staking, you see on the official waterfall site. The launchpad is the only recommended way to become a validator on mainnet.
Gwat maintains two permanent branches:
- main: This points to the latest stable release. It is ideal for most users.
- develop: This is used for development, it contains the latest PRs. Developers should base their PRs on this branch.
