# Consensus Rules
|
|
|
|
This folder contains 2 crates: `monero-consensus` (rules) and `cuprate-consensus`. `monero-consensus` contains the raw-rules
|
|
and is built to be a more flexible library which requires the user to give the correct data and do minimal calculations, `cuprate-consensus`
|
|
on the other hand contains multiple tower::Services that handle tx/ block verification as a whole with a `context` service that
|
|
keeps track of blockchain state. `cuprate-consensus` uses `monero-consensus` internally.
|
|
|
|
If you are looking to use monero consensus rules it's recommended you try to integrate `cuprate-consensus` and fall back to
|
|
`monero-consensus` if you need more flexibility.
|
|
|
|
## scan_chain
|
|
|
|
`cuprate-consensus` contains a binary,`scan_chain`, which uses multiple RPC connections to scan the blockchain and verify it against the
|
|
consensus rules. It keeps track of minimal data and uses the RPC connection to get blocks/transactions/outputs.
|
|
|
|
`scan_chain` was not built for wide usage, so you may find issues, if you do, open an issue in Cuprates issue tracker and or join our matrix
|
|
room for help. `scan_chain` has only been verified on `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`.
|
|
|
|
`scan_chain` will take at least a day for stagenet and testnet and 6 for mainnet but expect it to be longer. If you are just looking to verify
|
|
previous transactions it may be worth using `monerod` with `--fast-block-sync 0` this will probably be faster to complete and you will have a
|
|
usable node at the end!

### How to run
|
|
|
|
First you will need to install Rust/Cargo: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
|
|
|
|
Next you need to clone Cuprates git repo, enter the root of Cuprate, then run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo run --bin scan_chain -r
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to pass in options you need to add `--` then the option(s), so to list the options do:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo run --bin scan_chain -r -- --help
|
|
``` |
