eth1 Connecting to the eth1 chain

While our core focus so far has been Ethereum 2.0, going forward we will be devoting significantly more resources to our Ethereum 1.0 client. As it stands, however, this software is very much experimental.

Quickstart

To run Nimbus in Ethereum 1.0 mode, first install the prerequisites.

Then run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1
cd nimbus-eth1
make update

# >>> WINDOWS ONLY <<<
make fetch-dlls # WINDOWS ONLY
# >>> WINDOWS ONLY <<<

make nimbus
./build/nimbus

Note: We currently do not guarantee that Nimbus will work on Windows.

Nimbus will now run and attempt to synchronize with the Ethereum 1.0 blockchain.
