Bitcoin-anchored blockchain execution environment with Taproot DA and intent-based transactions

Get StartedAPI Reference

Quick start

Get up and running with Core Lane in minutes

1

Install dependencies

Core Lane requires Rust and Cargo. Install them using rustup:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
2

Clone and build

Clone the repository and build the Core Lane node:
git clone https://github.com/lanelayer/core-lane
cd core-lane
cargo build --release
3

Start the node

Run the Core Lane node with a Bitcoin RPC connection:
./target/release/core-lane-node \
  --rpc-url http://127.0.0.1:18443 \
  --rpc-user bitcoin \
  --rpc-password bitcoin123 \
  --http-host 127.0.0.1 \
  --http-port 8545
The node exposes an Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC API on port 8545
