# mithril-go
|
|
|
|
Pure-Go client for the Cardano [Mithril](https://mithril.network) protocol.
|
|
|
|
Mithril is Cardano's stake-based certified-snapshot system — it lets a new
|
|
node bootstrap the chain from a cryptographically-verified snapshot
|
|
instead of replaying every block from genesis.
|
|
|
|
The official [`mithril-client`](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril)
|
|
is Rust. This project is a pure-Go reimplementation that produces a single
|
|
static binary with no runtime dependencies — useful for:
|
|
|
|
- Embedding a Mithril bootstrap into Go-based Cardano tooling
|
|
(alongside `gouroboros`, `dingo`, and friends)
|
|
- Running on constrained ARM/embedded targets where shipping the Rust
|
|
binary + its deps is overkill
|
|
- Operators who prefer a single `go install`-able helper
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
**Early development — not usable yet.** Current state:
|
|
|
|
- [x] Module scaffold, network configs, aggregator REST client
|
|
- [x] `list` command hits the aggregator and enumerates cardano-database snapshots
|
|
- [ ] `download` — range-chunk parallel HTTP, SHA-256 integrity, resume
|
|
- [ ] `extract` — streamed zstd + tar decompression
|
|
- [ ] Genesis Ed25519 verification (per-network bootstrap key)
|
|
- [ ] STM BLS12-381 aggregate-signature verification (the hard part)
|
|
- [ ] Incremental / ancillary artifact support
|
|
|
|
## Usage (eventual)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mithril-go info -network mainnet
|
|
mithril-go list -network mainnet
|
|
mithril-go download -network mainnet -out ./db latest
|
|
mithril-go verify -network mainnet ./db
|
|
```
