v0.0.1

ChangLog

This project is is a fork from https://github.com/akula-bft/akula.
And this is the first pre-release to support BSC on Akula, which is a Rust client mainly based on Erigon protocol.
Since the BSC support is still under development, we will deliver the BSC capabilities step by step.
In this release, it support BSC FullSync, both BSC mainnet and testnet, it does not support validator mode yet.
Usage:

• BSC mainnet:
  ./akula --chain bsc --datadir ./akula_bsc
• BSC testnet:
  ./akula --chain bsctest --datadir ./akula_bsctest

Depending on your hardware capability and network condition, the FullSync cost diffs. Here is the cost on our device to sync from genesis to a recent block(2022/09/20), the device we used is: Arm aarch64 16core 60GB 7TB, which is a bit high performance. The cost is only for reference, it may takes longer or shorter on your testbed.

• mainnet: ~12days, ~5TB.
• testnet: ~20hours, ~400GB.
