Substrate Node Template
A fresh FRAME-based Substrate node, ready for hacking 🚀
Getting Started
Follow the steps below to get started with the Node Template, or get it up and running right from your browser in just a few clicks using the Substrate Playground 🛠️
Using Nix
Install nix and optionally direnv and
lorri for a fully plug and play experience for setting up the
development environment. To get all the correct dependencies activate direnv direnv allow and
lorri lorri shell.
Rust Setup
First, complete the basic Rust setup instructions.
Run
Use Rust's native cargo command to build and launch the template node:
cargo run --release -- --dev --tmp
Build
The cargo run command will perform an initial build. Use the following command to build the node
without launching it:
cargo build --release
Embedded Docs
Once the project has been built, the following command can be used to explore all parameters and subcommands:
./target/release/node-template -h
Run
The provided cargo run command will launch a temporary node and its state will be discarded after
you terminate the process. After the project has been built, there are other ways to launch the
node.
Single-Node Development Chain
This command will start the single-node development chain with persistent state:
./target/release/node-template --dev
Purge the development chain's state:
./target/release/node-template purge-chain --dev
Start the development chain with detailed logging:
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ./target/release/node-template -ldebug --dev
Connect with Polkadot-JS Apps Front-end
Once the node template is running locally, you can connect it with Polkadot-JS Apps front-end to interact with your chain. Click here connecting the Apps to your local node template.
Multi-Node Local Testnet
If you want to see the multi-node consensus algorithm in action, refer to our Start a Private Network tutorial.
Template Structure
A Substrate project such as this consists of a number of components that are spread across a few directories.
Node
A blockchain node is an application that allows users to participate in a blockchain network. Substrate-based blockchain nodes expose a number of capabilities:
- Networking: Substrate nodes use the
libp2pnetworking stack to allow the nodes in the network to communicate with one another. - Consensus: Blockchains must have a way to come to consensus on the state of the network. Substrate makes it possible to supply custom consensus engines and also ships with several consensus mechanisms that have been built on top of Web3 Foundation research.
- RPC Server: A remote procedure call (RPC) server is used to interact with Substrate nodes.
There are several files in the node directory - take special note of the following:
chain_spec.rs: A chain specification is a source code file that defines a Substrate chain's initial (genesis) state. Chain specifications are useful for development and testing, and critical when architecting the launch of a production chain. Take note of thedevelopment_configandtestnet_genesisfunctions, which are used to define the genesis state for the local development chain configuration. These functions identify some well-known accounts and use them to configure the blockchain's initial state.service.rs: This file defines the node implementation. Take note of the libraries that this file imports and the names of the functions it invokes. In particular, there are references to consensus-related topics, such as the longest chain rule, the Aura block authoring mechanism and the GRANDPA finality gadget.
After the node has been built, refer to the embedded documentation to learn more about the capabilities and configuration parameters that it exposes:
./target/release/node-template --help
Runtime
In Substrate, the terms "runtime" and "state transition function" are analogous - they refer to the core logic of the blockchain that is responsible for validating blocks and executing the state changes they define. The Substrate project in this repository uses the FRAME framework to construct a blockchain runtime. FRAME allows runtime developers to declare domain-specific logic in modules called "pallets". At the heart of FRAME is a helpful macro language that makes it easy to create pallets and flexibly compose them to create blockchains that can address a variety of needs.
Review the FRAME runtime implementation included in this template and note the following:
- This file configures several pallets to include in the runtime. Each pallet configuration is
defined by a code block that begins with
impl $PALLET_NAME::Config for Runtime. - The pallets are composed into a single runtime by way of the
construct_runtime!macro, which is part of the core FRAME Support library.
Pallets
The runtime in this project is constructed using many FRAME pallets that ship with the
core Substrate repository and a
template pallet that is defined in the pallets directory.
A FRAME pallet is compromised of a number of blockchain primitives:
- Storage: FRAME defines a rich set of powerful storage abstractions that makes it easy to use Substrate's efficient key-value database to manage the evolving state of a blockchain.
- Dispatchables: FRAME pallets define special types of functions that can be invoked (dispatched) from outside of the runtime in order to update its state.
- Events: Substrate uses events and errors to notify users of important changes in the runtime.
- Errors: When a dispatchable fails, it returns an error.
- Config: The
Configconfiguration interface is used to define the types and parameters upon which a FRAME pallet depends.
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
