Thor is VeChain's new generation blockchain project. It's the official implementation written in golang.

Thor requires Go 1.10+ and C compiler to build. To install Go, follow this link.

In addition, dep is required to manage dependencies.

Clone the Thor repo:

git clone https://github.com/vechain/thor.git
cd thor

Install dependencies: (Note that to make dep work, you should put Thor's source code at proper position under your $GOPATH.)
