Spaces is live on mainnet. Subspaces is live on testnet4, and development work is happening on the subspaces branch.
Spaces are sovereign Bitcoin identities. They leverage the existing infrastructure and security of Bitcoin without requiring a new blockchain or any modifications to Bitcoin itself learn more.
spaced is a tiny layer that connects to Bitcoin Core over RPC and scans transactions relevant to the protocol.
space-cli is a Bitcoin wallet that supports opening auctions, bidding and registering spaces.
Paste the following into your terminal to install the latest version of Spaces:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://install.spacesprotocol.org | shVisit docs to learn how to get started.
To build it from source:
git clone https://github.com/spacesprotocol/spaced && cd spaced
cargo install --path client --lockedMake sure it's in your path
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrcVerify installation
spaced --version
space-cli --version
First, download Bitcoin Core and set it up to connect to testnet4 using these steps:
mkdir $HOME/bitcoin-testnet4
# Create a configuration file with RPC credentials
echo "rpcuser=testnet4" > $HOME/bitcoin-testnet4/bitcoin.conf
echo "rpcpassword=testnet4" >> $HOME/bitcoin-testnet4/bitcoin.conf
# Start Bitcoin Core specifying testnet4 network
bitcoind -testnet4 -datadir=$HOME/bitcoin-testnet4Next, run spaced with the following:
spaced --chain testnet4 --bitcoin-rpc-user testnet4 --bitcoin-rpc-password testnet4| Package | Requires std | Description |
