Local testnet chain

This guide will provide step-by-step how to run a local testnet chain

Step 1: Access the Oraichain repository

The first thing you need to do is head over to the Oraichain repository. This repository is designed to help you launch and interact with local testnet chain. You can find this repo here

Step 2: Clone the repository

After find Oraichain repo, clone it to your desire folder

git clone https://github.com/oraichain/orai.git

Step 3: Set up

To set up and run chain locally, you have set up:

  • Install make: Normally, for Linux-based machines, you already have Make installed by default

  • Install libwasmvm: The wasmd module of CosmWasm uses a wasm vm library, which should be included when building the chain binary. Hence, we need to download and place it in a specific location. For Linux based machines, please run the following command:

sudo wget https://github.com/CosmWasm/wasmvm/releases/download/v0.13.0/libwasmvm_muslc.a -O /lib/libwasmvm_muslc.a
  • After set up, move to your folder that clone repo, move to orai folder

cd your_clone_folder
cd orai/orai
  • Download Go dependencies:

go get ./...
  • Build the binary

make install
  • Check result

oraid version

Step 4: Write sh script file

To run locally testnet chain, create a .sh script file as follow:

  • Create local_validator.sh script in folder ./scripts/

nano ./scripts/local_validator.sh
  • Fill in script as follow:

#!/bin/bash
set -ux

# always returns true so set -e doesn't exit if it is not running.
killall oraid || true
rm -rf $HOME/.oraid/
killall screen

# make four orai directories
mkdir $HOME/.oraid
mkdir $HOME/.oraid/validator1
mkdir $HOME/.oraid/validator2

# init all two validators
oraid init --chain-id=testing validator1 --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator1
oraid init --chain-id=testing validator2 --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator2

# create keys for all two validators
oraid keys add validator1 --keyring-backend=test --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator1
oraid keys add validator2 --keyring-backend=test --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator2

update_genesis () {    
    cat $HOME/.oraid/validator1/config/genesis.json | jq "$1" > $HOME/.oraid/validator1/config/tmp_genesis.json && mv $HOME/.oraid/validator1/config/tmp_genesis.json $HOME/.oraid/validator1/config/genesis.json
}

# change staking denom to orai
update_genesis '.app_state["staking"]["params"]["bond_denom"]="orai"'

# create validator node 1
oraid add-genesis-account $(oraid keys show validator1 -a --keyring-backend=test --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator1) 1000000000000orai,1000000000000stake --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator1

# update staking genesis

# update crisis variable to orai

# update mint genesis

screen -S validator2 -d -m oraid start --home=$HOME/.oraid/validator2 --minimum-gas-prices=0.00001orai

echo "All 2 Validators are up and running!"
  • After create file, give the script permission with

chmod +x ./scripts/local_validator.sh

Step 5: Run local testnet chain

After set up, create script file, you can run local testnet chain

  • Run script file:

./scripts/local_validator.sh
  • Log local node:

Validator1: screen -r validator1
Validator2: screen -r validator2
  • View validator status:

Validator2: oraid status --node "tcp://localhost:26654"
Validator3: oraid status --node "tcp://localhost:26651"
or
Validator1: oraid keys list --keyring-backend test --home $HOME/.oraid/validator1
Validator2: oraid keys list --keyring-backend test --home $HOME/.oraid/validator2
