Snapshot hub

This is a hub for Snapshot network that stores the database and forwards new messages to peers. The hub holds a private key to sign valid messages.

Install

1. Install Node.js, clone the repository, then say:

yarn

2. Copy .env.example, rename it to .env and set a value for these config vars:

• DATABASE_URL: The database connection string. You will need to run your own MySQL database or use a Cloud service like JawsDB.
• RELAYER_PK: This is the private key of the hub. The hub counter-sign every accepted message with this key.

3. Create the database schema

Run this query on the MySQL database to create the initial schema with the required tables: https://github.com/snapshot-labs/snapshot-hub/blob/master/src/helpers/schema.sql

Run

• Use this command to run the hub:

yarn start

• Go on this page: http://localhost:3000/api if everything is fine it should return details of the hub example:

{
  "name": "snapshot-hub",
  "network": "livenet",
  "version": "0.1.3",
  "tag": "alpha",
  "relayer": "0x8BBE4Ac64246d600BC2889ef5d83809D138F03DF"
}

Usage

Once your hub is running online, the main hub can relay the messages received to your own hub. Please provide the URL of your Snapshot hub to an admin to make sure it's connected to the network.
