This is the main repository for the PegNet application.
Pegged tokens reflect real market assets such as currencies, precious metals, commodities, cryptocurrencies etc. The conversion rates on PegNet are determined by a decentralized set of miners who submit values based on current market data. These values are recorded in the Factom blockchain and then graded based upon accuracy and mining hashpower.
The draft proposal paper is available here.
For any questions, troubleshooting or further information head to discord.
- Pegnet binary from the releases page
- Factom binaries from their distribution page
- Factom Address that is funded or Entry Credits which can be purchased directly here or here.
Create a .pegnet
folder inside your home directory. Copy the config/defaultconfig.ini
file there.

Sign up for an API Key from https://currencylayer.com, replace APILayerKey in the config with your own
-
Replace either ECAddress or FCTAddress with your own
-
Modify the IdentityChain name to one of your choosing.
-
Have a factomd node running on mainnet.
-
Have factom-walletd open
-
Start Pegnet
On first startup there will be a delay while the hash bytemap is generated. Mining will only begin at the start of each ten minute block.
-
Join Discord and chat about it with lovely people!
-
Run a testnet node
-
Create a github issue because they always exist.
-
Fork the repo and submit your pull requests, fix things.
Docker guide can be found here for an automated solution.
