`substrate-stencil`

A template for kick starting a Rust and Blockchain project using Substrate.

Docs | Chat

Features

This template includes the minimum required components to start a PoS testnet, inspired by substrate-node-template.

Consensus related pallets: Babe & GRANDPA
Staking related pallets: staking, session, authorship, im-online, offences, utility
Governance related pallets: collective, membership, elections-phragmen, democracy, treasure

Notes: The code is un-audited and not production ready, use it at your own risk.

🚴 Usage

📦 Installation

Install Rust and Substrate dependencies:

curl https://getsubstrate.io -sSf | bash -s -- --fast

Install cargo generate:

cargo install cargo-generate

🛠️ Generate & Build

Generate your project based the template:

cargo generate --git https://github.com/kaichaosun/substrate-stencil.git --branch v2.0.0 --name my-project

cd my-project

Build source code:

cargo build --release

🏃 Run

Purge any existing developer chain state:

./target/release/my-project purge-chain --dev

Start a development chain with:

./target/release/my-project --dev

Detailed logs may be shown by running the node with the following environment variables set: RUST_LOG=debug RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run -- --dev.

🕸️ Multi-Node Local Testnet

If you want to see the multi-node consensus algorithm in action locally, then you can create a local testnet with two validator nodes for Alice and Bob, who are the initial authorities of the genesis chain that have been endowed with testnet units.

Optionally, give each node a name and expose them so they are listed on the Polkadot telemetry site.

You'll need two terminal windows open.

We'll start Alice's substrate node first on default TCP port 30333 with her chain database stored locally at /tmp/alice. The bootnode ID of her node is QmRpheLN4JWdAnY7HGJfWFNbfkQCb6tFf4vvA6hgjMZKrR, which is generated from the --node-key value that we specify below:

cargo run -- \
  --base-path /tmp/alice \
  --chain=local \
  --alice \
  --node-key 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 \
  --telemetry-url 'ws://telemetry.polkadot.io:1024 0' \
  --validator

In the second terminal, we'll start Bob's substrate node on a different TCP port of 30334, and with his chain database stored locally at /tmp/bob. We'll specify a value for the --bootnodes option that will connect his node to Alice's bootnode ID on TCP port 30333:

cargo run -- \
  --base-path /tmp/bob \
  --bootnodes /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/QmRpheLN4JWdAnY7HGJfWFNbfkQCb6tFf4vvA6hgjMZKrR \
  --chain=local \
  --bob \
  --port 30334 \
  --telemetry-url 'ws://telemetry.polkadot.io:1024 0' \
  --validator

Additional CLI usage options are available and may be shown by running cargo run -- --help.

🐳 Run in Docker

First, install Docker and Docker Compose.

Then run the following command to start a single node development chain.

./scripts/docker_run.sh

This command will firstly compile your code, and then start a local development network. You can also replace the default command (cargo build --release && ./target/release/node-template --dev --ws-external) by appending your own. A few useful ones are as follow.

# Run Substrate node without re-compiling
./scripts/docker_run.sh ./target/release/node-template --dev --ws-external

# Purge the local dev chain
./scripts/docker_run.sh ./target/release/node-template purge-chain --dev

# Check whether the code is compilable
./scripts/docker_run.sh cargo check

⚡ Run public testnet

Modify the genesis config in chain_spec.rs
Build spec, ./target/release/<your-project-name> build-spec --chain staging > my-staging.json
Change original spec to encoded raw spec, ./target/release/<your-project-name> build-spec --chain=my-staging.json --raw > my-staging-raw.json

Start your bootnodes, node key can be generate with command ./target/release/substrate key generate-node-key.

./target/release/<your-project-name> \
     --node-key <your-node-key> \
     --base-path /tmp/bootnode1 \
     --chain my-staging-raw.json \
     --name bootnode1

Start your initial validators,

./target/release/<your-project-name> \
    --base-path  /tmp/validator1 \
    --chain   my-staging-raw.json \
    --bootnodes  /ip4/<your-bootnode-ip>/tcp/30333/p2p/<your-bootnode-peerid> \
    --port 30336 \
    --ws-port 9947 \
    --rpc-port 9936 \
    --name  validator1 \
    --validator

Insert session keys
Attract enough validators from community in waiting
Call force_new_era in staking pallet with sudo, rotate to PoS validators
Enable governance, and remove sudo
Enable transfer and other functions
