Tartarus is a NodeID and BLS Key generator for the Avalanche Nodes. It generates node IDs with customizable prefixes and suffixes, and saves the generated nodes to a CSV file, a JSON file, or a directory that's compatible with the AvalancheGo Node.
- Easy to use!
- Customizable prefixes and suffixes!
- Make one or a million nodes with a single command!
- Output as CSV, JSON, or an AvalancheGo-compatible directory!
- Multithreaded for faster generation!
- No regex support for prefixes and suffixes.
- Requires a C compiler to build.
- Go 1.23.2 only.
- Has been known to break on versions 1.24 and above.
- A C compiler (GCC or Clang)
Here's a oneline command to install Go 1.23 on Ubuntu:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && wget -qO- https://golang.org/dl/go1.23.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf - && echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' | sudo tee -a $HOME/.bashrc && source $HOME/.bashrc && rm -f go1.23.2.linux-amd64.tar.gzYou'll also need a C compiler, you can install GCC with the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essentialOnce you have the prerequisites installed, you can build Tartarus with the following command:
go build -o tartarus main.goTo use Tartarus, simply run the executable with the desired flags. For example:
./tartarus -n 10 -p abc -o output.csvThis will generate 10 node IDs with the prefix "abc" and save them to a CSV file called "output.csv".
NOTE: THIS WILL TAKE A LONG TIME if you choose long prefixes!
-n, --count: The number of nodes to generate. Defaults to 1.-p, --prefix: The prefix for the node IDs. Defaults to an empty string.-s, --suffix: The suffix for the node IDs. Defaults to an empty string.-c, --case-sensitive: Whether to make the node IDs case-sensitive. Defaults to false.-o, --output: The output file for the generated nodes. Defaults to "nodes.csv".-v, --verbose: Whether to print verbose output. Defaults to false.
