​
Installation

Get started with the Tashi Vertex Rust SDK by adding it to your project and installing the required build dependencies.

​
Add the crate

Add the crate to your Rust project using Cargo: 
cargo add tashi-vertex

​
Build requirements

Before building your project, ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

​
CMake

The build process requires CMake 4.0 or higher. 
brew install cmake
Verify your CMake installation: 
cmake --version

​
Tashi Vertex shared library

The Tashi Vertex shared library (libtashi-vertex.so / .dylib / .dll) is automatically fetched by the build script when you compile your project. No manual installation is required.
The Tashi Vertex binary library is proprietary and governed by its own commercial license. See the NOTICE file in the source repository for details.

​
What gets installed

When you add tashi-vertex to your project, you get:
  • Rust bindings — Safe, ergonomic wrappers around the C library
  • Type definitions — All core types like Engine, Context, Socket, Transaction, and more
  • Base58 utilities — Encode/decode functions for keys and binary data
  • Async support — Future-based APIs that work seamlessly with Tokio

​
Verify installation

Create a simple program to verify the installation:
main.rs
use tashi_vertex::KeySecret;

fn main() {
    let secret = KeySecret::generate();
    let public = secret.public();
    
    println!("Secret: {}", secret);
    println!("Public: {}", public);
}
Run it: 
cargo run
You should see output similar to: 
Secret: 2wJLKfvY8xH3z9qP...
Public: 5aPmN8vR2xK9tL...
The secret and public keys are Base58-encoded DER format Ed25519 keys.
