Tac Chain

tacchaind is a TAC EVM Node based on CosmosSDK with EVM support.

Quickstart

• Prerequisites
  • Go >= v1.23.6

git clone https://github.com/TacBuild/tacchain.git
cd tacchain
make install # install the tacchaind binary
make localnet-init # initialize local chain
make localnet-start # start the chain

• Network RPC can be accessed at http://0.0.0.0:26657

• NOTE: make install will build the project and install the app binary to $GOPATH/bin/tacchaind. You can verify the installation using tacchaind --help.

• NOTE: make localnet-init initializes a new chain and generates network config folder at $HOME/.tacchaind. The generated folder is used to persist the network state. It's important to backup this folder accordingly. Note that this command removes any existing $HOME/.tacchaind! Only use it if you want to start a local network for the first time or you want to reset your chain's state!

Using Docker

docker build . -t tacchaind:latest # build image
docker run --rm -it tacchaind:latest tacchaind --help # example binary usage

TAC Address Converter

Use the built-in tacchaind debug addr command to convert between EVM hex addresses and TAC bech32 account addresses deterministically.

EVM -> TAC:

tacchaind debug addr 0x123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef012345678 --prefix tac
# Bech32 tac1zg69v7y6hn00qy352euf40x77qfrg4nchk34lw

TAC -> EVM:

tacchaind debug addr tac1zg69v7y6hn00qy352euf40x77qfrg4nchk34lw
# Address hex: 0x123456789aBCdef0123456789AbCDEF012345678

debug addr works offline and does not require a running node. The EVM output is EIP-55 checksummed; the lower-case form is the same address. To inspect the configured TAC bech32 prefixes, run:

tacchaind debug prefixes

The repository also includes a small JavaScript/TypeScript address conversion utility in contrib/tac-address-converter. It can be used directly from JS projects or as a reference implementation for the same deterministic EVM hex <-> TAC bech32 conversion.
