imuachain

Imuachain is an omnichain restaking protocol that combines the crypto-economic security from multiple blockchain networks and tokens, and extends it to any off-chain system. The protocol is designed with a modular architecture, incorporating Tendermint-based Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism, Zero-Knowledge (ZK) light-client bridging, and a fully EVM-compatible execution environment. This design enables smooth interactions for restakers and seamless integration for developers. Additionally, we introduce novel concepts, such as Union Restaking, where off-chain services can form a union to extend the crypto-economic security of their own tokens to each other. By pooling crypto-economic security and extending it to off-chain systems, Imuachain powers an open market for decentralized trust.

Creating docker images

1. Once the dependencies are installed, execute make localnet-init, this will generate the cluster configuration file.

2. Run the following command to create the docker image:

   make localnet-build
   # Check if images build done
   docker images
   

3. Launch the chain node:

   make localnet-start
   # Check if containers are all up
   docker ps
   

Interacting with a local node

With a node running, the imuad binary can be used to interact with the node. Run ./bin/imuad <command> --help to get information about the available commands.
