SOVEREIGN_NET

A distributed post-quantum blockchain network with advanced privacy features and zero-knowledge proofs.

Project Structure

This repository contains multiple interconnected libraries and services:

node download

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SOVEREIGN-NET/Sov-Net-Full.git

Core Libraries

• lib-blockchain/ - Core blockchain implementation with UTXO model and smart contracts
• lib-consensus/ - Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanisms with DAO governance
• lib-crypto/ - Post-quantum cryptography (CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium)
• lib-identity/ - Identity management for humans, devices, and organizations
• lib-economy/ - Economic models, rewards, and token mechanics
• lib-network/ - P2P networking with DHT integration and LoRaWAN support
• lib-proofs/ - Zero-knowledge proof systems and verification
• lib-protocols/ - Communication protocols and message handling
• lib-storage/ - Distributed storage with mesh networking capabilities

For a full list of features that need implementing/fixing, as well as things that we already have, go to BLOCKCHAIN_FEATURE_MATRIX.md in /zhtp

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable)
• Node.js (for web interface)
• Git
• openssl/tls

Option 1 Manual Node Type Selection

# Navigate to the ZHTP directory
cd zhtp

# Build the project
cargo build 

# Start test node****

./target/debug/zhtp.exe node start #windows
# or
./target/debug/zhtp node start #macos/linux
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#"./target/debug/zhtp.exe" this is how you use the cli for now you can use --help to see the current commands.


#### *****API*****
go to /zhtp/native_zhtp_api_complete.md those are the 30 apis that should work right now.



### Running Individual Components

Each library can be tested independently:

```powershell
# Test blockchain functionality
cd lib-blockchain
cargo test

# Test consensus mechanisms
cd lib-consensus  
cargo test

# Test cryptographic functions
cd lib-crypto
cargo test

# Run specific examples
cd lib-blockchain
cargo run --example full_consensus_integration
