DALLO Docs

Concise references for building, running, and testing DALLO. All URLs stay on dallo.cash.

Install

DALLO is experimental. Build from source; expect churn.

1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/dallo/dallo.git
2. Install build tools: Python 3, Perl, pkg-config, Rust toolchain, libsodium, libtool, autotools, OS deps.
3. Build: ./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)

Mirror Zcash build references if a package is missing; layout is equivalent with DALLO branding.

Run (regtest example)

rpcuser=<set-a-user>
rpcpassword=<set-a-strong-password>
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
regtest=1   # for local testing
gen=1       # auto-mine on regtest

./src/dallod -datadir=~/.dallo
./src/dallo-cli -datadir=~/.dallo getblockchaininfo

Use -regtest for local development. Verify binaries/hashes for every release.

Wallet basics

• New account: dallo-cli z_getnewaccount
• New shielded address: dallo-cli z_getaddressforaccount <account>

FAQ

• Chain? DALLO rebrands a Zcash-derived chain; consensus unchanged.
• Sprout params: download.dallo.org/downloads/sprout-groth16.params
• Mining local? Set regtest=1, gen=1, start dallod, then dallo-cli generate <n>.
• Why “Zcash” strings? Message magic, seeds, paths remain for compatibility/licensing.
