Joining Chainsafe's Public Testnet

This document outlines the steps to join the public testnet hosted by Chainsafe.

Steps:

  1. Install the Ethermint binaries (ethermintd & ethermint cli):
git clone https://github.com/cosmos/ethermint
cd ethermint
make install
  1. Create an Ethermint account:
ethermintcli keys add <keyname>

  1. Copy genesis file: Follow this link and copy it over to the directory ~/.ethermintd/config/genesis.json

  2. Add peers: Edit the file located in ~/.ethermintd/config/config.toml and edit line 350 (persistent_peers) to the following;

"aad1e55aa61b9142e57db756b398bb769ec4132a@54.210.246.165:26656,519613343d7d0773fb99da6fffca858d8df33cd4@18.204.206.179:26656,64ffe6743666b0e186638013117f164c5cf16d21@3.86.104.251:26656"
  1. Validate genesis and start the Ethermint network:
ethermintd validate-genesis

ethermintd start --pruning=nothing --rpc.unsafe --log_level "main:info,state:info,mempool:info" --trace

(we recommend running the command in the background for convenience)

  1. Start the RPC server:
ethermintcli rest-server --laddr "tcp://localhost:8545" --unlock-key $KEY --chain-id etherminttestnet-1 --trace

where $KEY is the key name that was used in step 2. (we recommend running the command in the background for convenience)

  1. Request funds from the faucet: You will need to know the Ethereum hex address, and it can be found with the following command:
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_accounts","params":[],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545

Using the output of the above command, you will then send the command with your valid Ethereum address:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"address":"0xYourEthereumHexAddress"}' 3.95.21.91:3000

Public Testnet Node RPC Endpoints

Node0: 54.210.246.165:8545 Node1: 3.86.104.251:8545 Node2: 18.204.206.179:8545

example:

curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" 54.210.246.165:8545
