Sequentia is a Bitcoin sidechain dedicated to asset tokenization and decentralized exchanges.
Current code is based on Elements Version: 23.2.1
On Ubuntu (and probably Debian), you should be able to install the prerequisite build tools with the following command:
sudo apt install ccache build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils python3
YMMV on other software distributions.
You may achieve speedups when building and rebuilding by using ccache, that you may install and configure as follows:
sudo /usr/sbin/update-ccache-symlinks
echo 'export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH"' | tee -a ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
./autogen.sh
make -j$(nproc) -C depends NO_QT=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_USDT=1
export CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site NOWARN_CXXFLAGS='-Wno-deprecated -Wno-unused-result'
./configure --enable-any-asset-fees --enable-debug --disable-bench --disable-tests --disable-fuzz-binary
Note that the --enable-any-asset-fees
flag is an addition by Sequentia,
that will configure RPC documentation to denominate fee rates
using RFU and rfa instead of BTC and sat.
make -j$(nproc)
Elements supports a few different pre-set chains for syncing. Note though some are intended for QA and debugging only:
- Liquid mode:
elementsd -chain=liquidv1
(syncs with Liquid network) - Bitcoin mainnet mode:
elementsd -chain=main
(not intended to be run for commerce) - Bitcoin testnet mode:
elementsd -chain=testnet3
- Bitcoin regtest mode:
elementsd -chain=regtest
- Elements custom chains: Any other
-chain=
argument. It has regtest-like default parameters that can be over-ridden by the user by a rich set of start-up options.
The latest feature in the Elements blockchain platform is Confidential Assets, the ability to issue multiple assets on a blockchain where asset identifiers and amounts are blinded yet auditable through the use of applied cryptography.
- Announcement of Confidential Assets
- Confidential Assets Whitepaper to be presented April 7th at Financial Cryptography 2017 in Malta
- Confidential Assets Tutorial
- Confidential Assets Demo
- Elements Code Tutorial covering blockchain configuration and how to use the main features.
Compared to Bitcoin itself, Elements adds the following features:
- Confidential Assets
- Confidential Transactions
- Federated Two-Way Peg
- Signed Blocks
- Additional opcodes
Previous elements that have been integrated into Bitcoin:
- Segregated Witness
- Relative Lock Time
Elements deferred for additional research and standardization:
Additional RPC commands and parameters:
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
