README.md

Work in progress. Things may and probably will break for the foreseeable future. Do not rely on this for anything.

Connecting to Testnet

To connect to a short-lived testnet we may or may not have running at the moment, use the connect_to_testnet script like so:

scripts/connect_to_testnet.sh testnet0

Running your own testnet

The beacon_node binary has a createTestnet command.

  nim c -r beacon_chain/beacon_node \
    --data-dir=$DATA_DIR/node-0 \
    createTestnet \
    --validators-dir=$NETWORK_DIR \
    --total-validators=$VALIDATOR_COUNT \
    --last-user-validator=$LAST_USER_VALIDATOR \
    --output-genesis=$NETWORK_DIR/genesis.ssz \
    --output-bootstrap-file=$NETWORK_DIR/bootstrap_nodes.txt \
    --bootstrap-address=$PUBLIC_IP \
    --genesis-offset=600 # Delay in seconds

Replace ENV vars with values that make sense to you.
