Welcome to the Aion Wiki!

This wiki is a guide to using the Aion blockchain network.

Repository layout

The Aion implementation is distributed across multiple modules to allow for code reuse:

• The Aion Core contains the main functionality of the Aion network and can be downloaded from the releases page.
• The Aion FastVM is an enhanced Ethereum Virtual Machine provided as a separate module.
• The Aion Miner repository contains code and documentation for mining blocks on the Aion blockchain.
• The Aion Interchain repository will provide information regarding our bridging protocol.
• The Aion Compatible Web3 Api repository provides a Web3 application programming interface for interacting with the Aion blockchain.
• The Aion Java Api repository provides a java programming interface for interacting with the Aion blockchain.

Modules

The Aion Core is jdk9 module based implementation:

• The [modMcf] generic multi-chain framework as fundamental blockchain building blocks.
• The [modAion modAionImpl] aion core interface and aion zero implementation (POW) .
• The [modAionBase] aion core common library.
• The [modApiServer] aion core api daemon for aion binary api protocol and web3 protocol client.
• The [modBoot] the boostrap lib for aion core.
• The [modCrypto] the crypto library, include blake2b, sha, edcsa, ed25519 etc.
• The [modDbImpl] blockchain key value database implementation, support level db and h2.
• The [modEvtMgr modEvtMgrImpl] event support framework for blockchain kernel.
• The [modP2p modP2pImpl] peer to peer library support aion wire protocol.
• The [modTxpool modTxpoolImpl] blockchain transaction pool interface and implementation.
• The [modRlp] RLP implemention , which is serialization solution for aion core..
• The [modLogger] logger module.

Resources

The Aion installation guide is available in the repository README.md file.

This wiki also contains documentation on:

• Genesis Block - description of the network genesis block
• Database - storage configuration options
• Internal Miner - enabling and disabling the internal miner and collecting AION
• Command Line Interface - using the command line options to interact with the network
• Build you Aion network - the guide for build your Aion network step by step.
