Mini - A minimal Cosmos SDK chain

This repository contains an example of a tiny, but working Cosmos SDK chain. It uses the least modules possible and is intended to be used as a starting point for building your own chain, without all the boilerplate that other tools generate. It is a simpler version of Cosmos SDK's simapp.

This branch of Minid uses Cosmos SDK v0.50.x.

Note

Minid for Cosmos SDK v0.50.x
Minid for Cosmos SDK v0.52.x
Minid for Cosmos SDK v2. Learn what v2 was in this comparison and talk.

How to use

In addition to learn how to build a chain thanks to minid, you can as well directly run minid.

Prerequisites

• Install Go as described here.
• Add GOPATH to your PATH:
  • export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$(/usr/local/go/bin/go env GOPATH)/bin"

You are all set!

Installation

Install and run minid:

git clone git@github.com:cosmosregistry/chain-minimal.git
cd chain-minimal
make install # install the minid binary
make init # initialize the chain
minid start # start the chain

Troubleshoot

After running make install, verify minid has been installed by doing which minid. If minid is not found, verify that your $PATH is configured correctly.
