About TomoChain

TomoChain is an innovative solution to the scalability problem with the Ethereum blockchain. Our mission is to be a leading force in building the Internet of Value, and its infrastructure. We are working to create an alternative, scalable financial system which is more secure, transparent, efficient, inclusive, and equitable for everyone.

TomoChain relies on a system of 150 Masternodes with a Proof of Stake Voting consensus that can support near-zero fee, and 2-second transaction confirmation times. Security, stability, and chain finality are guaranteed via novel techniques such as double validation, staking via smart-contracts, and "true" randomization processes.

Tomochain supports all EVM-compatible smart-contracts, protocols, and atomic cross-chain token transfers. New scaling techniques such as sharding, private-chain generation, and hardware integration will be continuously researched and incorporated into Tomochain's masternode architecture. This architecture will be an ideal scalable smart-contract public blockchain for decentralized apps, token issuances, and token integrations for small and big businesses.

More details can be found at our technical white paper

Read more about us on:

Building the source

Tomochain provides a client binary called tomo for both running a masternode and running a full-node. Building tomo requires both a Go (1.7+) and C compiler; install both of these.

Once the dependencies are installed, just run the below commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/tomochain/tomochain tomochain
$ cd tomochain
$ make tomo

Alternatively, you could quickly download our pre-complied binary from our github release page

Running tomo

Running a tomo masternode

Please refer to the official documentation on how to run a node if your goal is to run a masternode. The recommanded ways of running a node and applying to become a masternode are explained in detail there.

Attaching to the Tomochain test network

We published our test network 2.0 with full implementation of PoSV consensus at https://stats.testnet.tomochain.com. If you'd like to experiment with smart contract creation and DApps, you might be interested to give these a try on our Testnet.

In order to connect to one of the masternodes on the Testnet, just run the command below:

$ tomo attach https://rpc.testnet.tomochain.com

This will open the JavaScript console and let you query the blockchain directly via RPC.

Running tomo locally

Download genesis block

$GENESIS_PATH : location of genesis file you would like to put

export GENESIS_PATH=path/to/genesis.json
  • Testnet
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomochain/tomochain/master/genesis/testnet.json -o $GENESIS_PATH
  • Mainnet
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomochain/tomochain/master/genesis/mainnet.json -o $GENESIS_PATH

Create datadir

  • create a folder to store tomochain data on your machine
export DATA_DIR=/path/to/your/data/folder 
mkdir -p $DATA_DIR/tomo

Initialize the chain from genesis

tomo init $GENESIS_PATH --datadir $DATA_DIR

Initialize / Import accounts for the nodes's keystore

If you already had an existing account, import it. Otherwise, please initialize new accounts

export KEYSTORE_DIR=path/to/keystore
Initialize new accounts
tomo account new \
  --password [YOUR_PASSWORD_FILE_TO_LOCK_YOUR_ACCOUNT] \
  --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR
Import accounts
tomo  account import [PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_OF_YOUR_ACCOUNT] \
     --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR \
     --password [YOUR_PASSWORD_FILE_TO_LOCK_YOUR_ACCOUNT]
List all available accounts in keystore folder
tomo account list --datadir ./  --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR

Start a node

Environment variables
  • $IDENTITY: the name of your node
  • $PASSWORD: the password file to unlock your account
  • $YOUR_COINBASE_ADDRESS: address of your account which generated in the previous step
  • $NETWORK_ID: the networkId. Mainnet: 88. Testnet: 89
  • $BOOTNODES: The comma separated list of bootnodes. Find them here

    --bootnodes $BOOTNODES \   
    --ethstats $IDENTITY:$WS_SECRET@$NETSTATS_HOST:$NETSTATS_PORT 
    console
