Tendermint

Setup Tendermint

Release 0.34.24 · tendermint/tendermintGitHub

• Either Install tendermint in the PATH or

• Extract the contents to the folder NodeExample/tendermint

Configure Tendermint

To configure tendermint it takes some time, but last go at it

In the config.toml we need to change a few things.

1. proxy_app → here we just change the port to our desired port

   1proxy_app = "tcp://127.0.0.1:26558"

2. moniker → This is the node name, you can name as you want it.

   1moniker = "nodeExample" # Change this to you node name

3. rpc.laddr → change the port

   1[rpc] 2laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:26557"

4. p2p.laddr → Change the port

5. p2p.seeds → Add the seeds (Validator nodes)

   1[p2p] 2seeds = "node_ID@ip_address:node_port"

   Instead of changing the config.toml, on running can be passed as an argument.

   1--p2p.seeds "node_ID@ip_address:node_port"

Testnet Configuration for tendermint.

For connecting to the testnet you have here the seed, you can add it to your node config.toml file or run it with the --p2p.seeds flag

Run Tendermint

To run tendermint after extracting it to the tendermint folder and giving it the permission to execute

1# This line of code is from the NodeExample folder. 2chmod u+x ./tendermint/tendermint

Then also give permission to the runTendermintNode.sh

1chmod u+x runTendermintNode.sh

There’s some configuration that you can change from the runTendermintNode.sh

• NODENAME → Change the node name to the desired one, this will be the name of the folder as well

• TENDERMINTPATH → if you have the tendermint globally setuped just change it to tendermint

Now that the permissions are setuped let’s run it!

1./runTendermintNode.sh

Phantasma Node

Configure Phantasma Node

On the config_example.json provided on the NodeExample Folder

1. tendermint.rpc.port → Change the port for the desired one.

   1"tendermint.rpc.port": "26557"

2. tendermint.proxy.port → Change the port

   1"tendermint.proxy.port": "26558"

3. tendermint.key → Change the wif to your node wif (tendermint key, this key can be found on the node/config/priv_validator_key.json and it’s the “priv_key” > “value”)

   1"tendermint.key": "ZYsBV9y3a6T1ie2vt8+bVjtv93pUcWqWSMWGORhLc1kKgCIhXLqKxxxbTD1HCQY0LPyoy081q9Q1HJQGDwfTYA==",

4. api.proxy.url → URL to the seed node setuped previously If you're testing with your own nodes use this URL

   1"api.proxy.url": "http://127.0.0.1:5101/rpc"

   if you are testing with the public testnet use this instead

   1"api.proxy.url": "http://testnet.phantasma.io:5101/rpc"

5. node.mode → Either normal or proxy

   1"node.mode": "normal"

6. node.host → change the port of the node, this will be the your rpc url

   1"node.host": "http://*:5105"

To run the node

To run the node compile it

1dotnet build --project Phantasma.Node

Then go to Phantasma.Node/bin/Debug/net6.0/

1. Add the previously configure file with your change and rename it to config.json

Before starting up the Phantasma.Node make sure that Tendermint is running

1./phantasma-node --urls "http://*:5105" 2or 3dotnet phantasma-node.dll --urls "http://*:5105"

Notes

Also keep in mind if you have a Storage inside the Phantasma.Node/bin/Debug/net6.0/, just delete it before starting everything

Also keep in mind that you have to change the node/data/priv_validator_state.json to current chain settings.

There’s another thing to have in mind the validator nodes also have something in their configuration that limit the number of connections they can have, the default value is 4, but you can change it on the config.toml. It’s at the end of the file

1max_open_connections = 4 # Change this value to more than 4.

Setup Tendermint from 0 to Hero ( This is just to use when setuping on the mainnet )

This will create the node folder

1tendermint init --home "/path/to/folder/"

Then you just need to copy the config.toml from the NodeExample and change the value stated below.

Now just run the node

1tendermint node --home "/path/to/folder/"
