Tangle AVS: Quickstart Guide

The following is a guide outlining the steps to set up and utilize Tangle AVS (Actively Validated Services), allowing you to run a Tangle Validator on EigenLayer's network. If you do not have a Tangle node set up yet, please review the How to run a Tangle node setup guide here.

This guide will help you get started with deploying the AVS and enabling cross-chain functionalities across multiple blockchain protocols, specifically Tangle and EigenLayer. Further explanation on the cross-chain mechanisms offered by Tangle AVS can be found in the Cross-Chain section.

For information on hardware requirements, see the Hardware section.

Ensure that you have everything necessary for running a Tangle node and have access to the necessary network configurations for EigenLayer or any other network you plan to connect to.

Setup

The AVS is designed to automatically handle as much of the setup process as possible, so that you can focus on running your Tangle node. Some specific configurations are in the midst of being implemented, and they will be added in a future update.

Usage

Clone the repository:

git clone

   git clone https://github.com/tangle-network/avs.git tangle-avs
   cd tangle-avs

Build:

cargo build

cargo build --release

Running Tests

This AVS is under active development, thus being unstable. In the meantime, the tests can be run locally to see the capabilities of the Tangle AVS. The following command runs a test that automatically generates and runs everything needed.

cargo test

RUST_LOG=gadget=trace cargo test test_full_tangle_avs -- --nocapture
