Supernova EVM extension-chain

Development

Thank you @dexter703! You’ve done an amazing work so far!

I’ve released a statically linked supernovad binary with rocksdb support to enable faster transaction throughput and block sync.

rocksdb is much more efficient than goleveldb given that it’s written in C++ and is maintained by Facebook:

Please download and update your supernovad binary:

https://github.com/alienc0der/supernova/releases/tag/v0.0.1-50-g365b09c-2-gf52ef95

If you’re running a supernova node, please:

  1. Delete all blockchain files from ~/.supernova/data directory,
  2. Add db_backend = "rocksdb" to ~/.supernova/config/config.toml.
  3. Resync from scratch. rocksdb is not compatible with goleveldb format.

It is mandatory by all Pillars that run extension-chain validators to upgrade to supernovad with rocksdb support.
