Quicksilver is the Cosmos Liquid Staking Zone.
Many existing Liquid Staking providers take power and agency away from delegators, permitting only a small whitelist of validators to delegate to, and stripping away users voting rights. Quicksilver aims to right these wrongs, with active measures to reward and incentivise decentralisation and governance participation.
This system spec has been found to be optimal:
- Quad Core AMD or Intel (amd64) CPU; higher clock speed is preferential to more cores, as Tendermint is largely single-threaded.
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB NVMe Storage (mechanical disk are insufficient)
- 100Mbps bidirectional Internet connection
- The Go programming language - https://go.dev/
- Git distributed version control - https://git-scm.com/
- Docker - https://www.docker.com/get-started/
- GNU Make - https://www.gnu.org/software/make/
Make sure that the above software is installed on your system. Follow the instructions for your particular platform or use your preferred platform package manager;
In addition, install jq (a command line JSON processor):
-
Debian based systems:
apt-get install jq -
Arch based systems:
pacman -S jq -
Mac based systems:
brew install jq
NB!! Use a fork of the repository when you plan to create Pull Requests;
Clone the repository from GitHub and enter the directory:
git clone https://github.com/quicksilver-zone/quicksilver.git
cd quicksilver
Then run:
make build-docker
make test-docker
For subsequent tests run the following if you want to start with fresh state:
make build-docker
make test-docker-regen
Quicksilver utilises code and logic that originated from other projects; as an open-source project ourselves, we believe that appropriate attribution is necessary, in order to combat plagiarism.
