animica 1.9.17

Animica blockchain CLI and client libraries — node, wallet, miner, contracts, and useful-work jobs.

Animica Python toolbox

This directory packages the Python utilities that live under animica/, including data-availability helpers, mempool policy tests, and the stratum pool prototype. Installing it as a Python package allows tools and tests elsewhere in the repo to import animica modules directly.

Mine & earn — one command

pip install --upgrade animica

# Runs EVERYTHING, bound to your Animica address (auto-creates a wallet if you
# have none): SHA3 mining + ENA useful-work, plus model training + serving on a
# GPU, plus Bittensor serving on a qualified GPU (>=16 GB VRAM). Joins the pool
# and the one global model. Every reward — PoW, useful-work, training, serving,
# Bittensor — pays out in ANM to your address.
animica up

animica up --plan          # show exactly what will run on this machine first
animica up --pool-host pool.animica.org --pool-id <pool>   # target a pool

animica up advertises miner version 1.0.0; the pool rejects older miners, so keep it upgraded. Qualified GPUs (>=16 GB VRAM) also serve Bittensor, with all earnings bound to ANM (no external TAO/XMR payout). Full details: https://pool.animica.org/mining-onboard

Component commands (advanced — animica up runs these for you)

animica miner dual-mine <anm-address> --pool-host pool.animica.org  # PoW only
animica ena worker start --worker-id <id>                           # useful-work
animica ena pool serve <pool-id> --worker-id <id>                   # serve a model
animica bittensor overview                                          # Bittensor pool status

Installation

From the repository root you can install the package in editable mode:

python -m pip install -e "python[operator,dev]"

Optional extras

• Base package: now includes the backend runtime dependencies required by rpc.server, the ENA node, and the Stratum pool (fastapi, uvicorn[standard], prometheus-client).
• backend, ena, stratum, operator: compatibility aliases kept for operator/install scripts and older docs. They resolve to the same runtime dependency set as the base package.
• dev: pytest, mypy, ruff, respx, and other local development tools.

Example with extras:

python -m pip install -e "python[stratum,dev]"

Stratum pool runtime

Preferred operator path:

animica stratum up --daemon --profile asic_sha256 --rpc-url http://127.0.0.1:8545/rpc
animica stratum status
animica stratum down

Lower-level entrypoint:

python -m animica.stratum_pool --profile asic_sha256

Validation helpers

The repo now ships executable smoke helpers for the repaired setup/runtime path:

./scripts/smoke_backend_imports.sh
./scripts/smoke_ena.sh
./scripts/smoke_stratum.sh
./scripts/smoke_setup_install.sh
