ADAMANT node

ADAMANT

ADAMANT is decentralized messaging platform based on Lisk codebase and written in JavaScript. For more information please refer to our website: https://adamant.im/.

ADAMANT is a secure and anonymous messenger, encrypted with Blockchain. ADAMANT solves security flaws typical for P2P and centralized messagers.

Highlights:

• The only one which is Blockchain-powered
• Anonymous. No emails, no phone numbers
• No access to user device’s data (like address book or location)
• IP is hidden for partners
• Web app, Tor Web app, iOS, Android, Windows, GUN/Linux and Mac OS apps available. Try it now: https://msg.adamant.im/
• Messages are End-to-end encypted with curve25519xsalsa20poly1305 (NaCl box) and signed with Ed25519 EdDSA
• Trusted. Open-source project.
• Brand new Fair dPoS consensus
• Integrated crypto Wallets, In-Chat transfers and Exchange
• Secure alternative to 2FA via SMS

Use this repository to run your own ADAMANT node and support true messaging decentralization. You can also promote your node to a delegate to forge blocks and receive ADM block rewards. How to run ADAMANT node: Instructions for users.

API Documentation

Comprehensive API specification is avalable.

The manual describes the procedure for working with accounts and/or addresses, transactions, chats, and a KVS database. Furthermore, you will find all the necessary information on transactions and messages types. Additionally, the manual suggests valuable information on creating new accounts and encrypting and decrypting messages.

Set up

NOTE: The following information is applicable to Ubuntu 16 or 18 versions.

For making process simplier, you can use tools/install_ubuntu_dependencies.sh script.

Prerequisites — In order

• Tool chain components — Used for compiling dependencies

  sudo apt-get install -y python build-essential curl automake autoconf libtool

• Git (https://github.com/git/git) — Used for cloning and updating ADAMANT

  sudo apt-get install -y git

• Node.js (https://nodejs.org/) — Node.js serves as the underlying engine for code execution

  System wide via package manager:

  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
  sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
  

  Locally using nvm:

  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
  nvm install v10.14.2
  

• Install PostgreSQL (version 9.6.2):

  sudo apt-get purge -y postgres*
  sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
  wget -q https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
  
  # Create user if you are working from superuser
  adduser adamant
  sudo usermod -aG sudo adamant
  su - adamant
  
  # Create db
  sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb $USER
  createdb adamant_test
  createdb adamant_main
  sudo -u postgres psql -d adamant_test -c "alter user "$USER" with password 'password';"
  sudo -u postgres psql -d adamant_main -c "alter user "$USER" with password 'password';"
  

• PM2 (https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) — PM2 manages the node process for ADAMANT (Optional)

  sudo npm install -g pm2

Installation Steps

Clone the ADAMANT repository using Git and initialize the modules.

git clone https://github.com/Adamant-im/adamant
cd adamant
npm install

Alternative Ubuntu install process

Alternative way to install ADAMANT with prerequisites. You need only Git installed locally. Or instead of cloning you can download and unpack zip from GitHub.

# Create user 
adduser adamant
sudo usermod -aG sudo adamant
su - adamant

git clone https://github.com/Adamant-im/adamant
cd adamant
sh tools/install_ubuntu_dependencies.sh

sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb $USER
createdb adamant_test
createdb adamant_main
sudo -u postgres psql -d adamant_test -c "alter user "$USER" with password 'password';"
sudo -u postgres psql -d adamant_main -c "alter user "$USER" with password 'password';"

npm install

Managing ADAMANT

To test that ADAMANT is built and configured correctly, run the following command:

node app.js

Once the process is verified as running correctly, CTRL+C and start the process with pm2. This will fork the process into the background and automatically recover the process if it fails.

pm2 start --name adamant app.js

After the process is started, its runtime status and log location can be retrieved by issuing the following command:

pm2 show adamant

To stop ADAMANT after it has been started with pm2, issue the following command:

pm2 stop adamant

NOTE: The port, address and config-path can be overridden by providing the relevant command switch:

pm2 start --name adamant app.js -- -p [port] -a [address] -c [config-path]

Tests

Before running any tests, please ensure ADAMANT is configured to run on the same testnet that is used by the test-suite.

Replace config.json and genesisBlock.json with the corresponding files under the test directory:

cp test/config.json test/genesisBlock.json .

NOTE: If the node was started with a different genesis block previous, trauncate the database before running tests.

dropdb adamant_test
createdb adamant_test

NOTE: The master passphrase for this genesis block is as follows:

wagon stock borrow episode laundry kitten salute link globe zero feed marble

Launch ADAMANT (runs on port 36667):

node app.js

Run the test suite:

npm test

Run individual tests:

npm test -- test/lib/accounts.js
npm test -- test/lib/transactions.js
