Mochi is essentially a Docker Image for a geth client that:

• uses evmone/evmc to replace the built-in EVM with a much faster version
• removes or drastically increases all timeouts and gas limitations of a typical geth client

Kohi's current development state needs Mochi for verifying that on-chain artworks we produce in Solidity/EVM will render.

It can also be used to verify Kohi art pieces, though this is a work in progress.

Yes, at the moment rendering times are anywhere from four hours to nine days, depending on the complexity of the metadata derived from the seed of a given artwork.

It won't always be this way.

The intention for Kohi as a platform is to render these EVM pieces with a GPU, resulting in near real-time performance, and the ability to use EVM to make 3D artworks, and artworks with interactivity (using time as a medium).

Right now, Mochi is required for our early works, but will phase out of existence when further tooling is shipped.

• Install Docker Desktop
• Run run.bat to deploy contracts to the Docker node
• Run Kohi.exe
