Desmos

Desmos social chain

Installation

make install

Start a testnet

Single node, manual

Run the desmos-faucet.

desmosd init {moniker} --chain-id {chain id}
desmoscli keys add {your name}
desmosd add-genesis-account {your name} 100000000000desmos
desmoscli keys add {faucet}
desmosd add-genesis-account {faucet} 10000000000000phanero
desmosd gentx --amount 1000000000desmos --name {your name}
desmosd collect-gentxs

Edit $HOME/.desmosd/config/genesis.json and update the bond_denom from stake to desmos.

desmosd start

Multi node, automatic

To start a 4 node testnet run:

make localnet-start

This command creates a 4-node network using the desmoslabs/desmosdnode image. The ports for each node are found in this table:

Node ID	P2P Port	RPC Port
desmosdnode0	26656	26657
desmosdnode1	26659	26660
desmosdnode2	26661	26662
desmosdnode3	26663	26664

To update the binary, just rebuild it and restart the nodes:

make build-linux localnet-start

Configuration

The make localnet-start creates files for a 4-node testnet in ./build by calling the desmosd testnet command. This outputs a handful of files in the ./build directory:

Each ./build/nodeN directory is mounted to the /desmosd directory in each container.

Logging

Logs are saved under each ./build/nodeN/desmosd/desmos.log. You can also watch logs directly via Docker, for example:

docker logs -f desmosdnode0

Keys & Accounts

To interact with desmoscli and start querying state or creating txs, you use the desmoscli directory of any given node as your home, for example:

desmoscli keys list --home ./build/node0/desmoscli

Now that accounts exists, you may create new accounts and send those accounts funds!

Note: Each node's seed is located at ./build/nodeN/desmoscli/key_seed.json and can be restored to the CLI using the desmoscli keys add --restore command
