A simplified implementation of Lachesis in Go and in Python in order to simulate/mechanize runs of the protocol and examine its properties of Liveness, Safety, etc.
- this is an implementation of the Lachesis consensus protocol in Python
- the relevant class and lachesis consensus methods are implemented in
/PyLachesis/lachesis.py
- this is an implementation of the Lachesis consensus protocol in Go
- the relevant code is in
/GoLachesis - run
main.go - reading files and setting the validators is currently done through
main.go
- the Python script to generate test cases as pdfs and as text inputs for the Python and Go implementations are in
/inputs - some sample DAGs are available in the directory
- the script allows to generate custom DAGs
- Go is (far) more performant, but Python is easier to add changes to ad-hoc and to test with
- the idea is to leverage the benefits of both languages and to arrive at a performant, stable port
- Python has more libraries for graphing and data science
