Reference implementations of Linkis protocol is available at our Github repo.

Introduction to Linkis Protocol

Linkis Core includes both Layer-1 (L1) and Layer-2 (L2) implementations. L1 handles coordination and record-keeping of network activities, while L2 manages storage and value transfer such as tokens and coins. The development version of the Linkis protocol is ready for testnet, with plans for more features and upgrades in the future.

For a detailed look, refer to the Linkis WhitePaper.

Quick Start Guide

To participate in the network, users can either become validators or service providers (workers). Here's how to set up a validator node:

Install Linkis:

git clone https://github.com/DeAI-Artist/Linkis.git

cd Linkis

make build

make install

Initialize the validator node:

linkis init

Start the validator node:

linkis node

Validators are responsible for proposing and validating blocks, securing the network.

Linkis Tokens (LI)

The Linkis token (LI) is the primary utility token for network participants. Clients, workers, and validators all use or hold LI tokens to engage with AI and machine learning services on the network.

Key aspects of Linkis tokens:

Security: Mainnets supporting LI tokens ensure a secure network.
Upgradability: Proxy contracts allow for seamless updates.
Cross-chain Capability: LI tokens can be transferred across different blockchain networks.
Transaction Efficiency: Linkis ensures low transaction fees and fast confirmation times.

Versioning and Upgrades

Linkis follows Semantic Versioning to ensure systematic updates. Be sure to keep your node up-to-date to avoid breaking changes and enjoy smooth upgrades.
