Blockchain Components

Overview

Basically there are mainly 2 components to start the blockchain that are as follows:

• Sharders

• Miners

---

Before starting with sharders and miners there are some essential configurations that are needed by sharders and miners that are as follows:

For sharder

• Unique operational wallet key for sharder.

• Magicblock.json config file.

• initial-state.yaml config file.

• nodes.yaml config file.

For miner

• Unique operational wallet key for miner.

• Magicblock config file.

• initial-state config file.

• nodes.yaml config file.

• dkg config file

Minimum smaller network can be with 1 Sharder and 3 miners. The smallest network we deploy for developers is with 2 sharders and 3 miners. In the next page will have an overview on how to generate these config files wrt 2 sharders and 3 miners.
