Polkadot
Implementation of a https://polkadot.network node in Rust based on the Substrate framework.
NOTE: In 2018, we split our implementation of "Polkadot" from its development framework "Substrate". See the Substrate repo for git history prior to 2018.
This repo contains runtimes for the Polkadot, Kusama, and Westend networks. The README provides
information about installing the polkadot binary and developing on the codebase. For more
specific guides, like how to be a validator, see the
Polkadot Wiki.
Building
Use a Provided Binary
If you want to connect to one of the networks supported by this repo, you can go to the latest release and download the binary that is provided.
Install via Cargo
If you want to install Polkadot in your PATH, you can do so with with:
cargo install --force --git https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot --tag <version> polkadot
Build from Source
If you'd like to build from source, first install Rust. You may need to add Cargo's bin directory to your PATH environment variable. Restarting your computer will do this for you automatically.
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
If you already have Rust installed, make sure you're using the latest version by running:
rustup update
Once done, finish installing the support software:
sudo apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev
Build the client by cloning this repository and running the following commands from the root directory of the repo:
git checkout <latest tagged release>
./scripts/init.sh
cargo build --release
Networks
This repo supports runtimes for Polkadot, Kusama, and Westend.
Connect to Polkadot Chain Candidate 1 (CC1)
Connect to the global Polkadot CC1 network by running:
./target/release/polkadot --chain=polkadot
You can see your node on telemetry (set a custom name with --name "my custom name").
Connect to the "Kusama" Canary Network
Connect to the global Kusama canary network by running:
./target/release/polkadot --chain=kusama
You can see your node on telemetry (set a custom name with --name "my custom name").
Connect to the Westend Testnet
Connect to the global Westend testnet by running:
./target/release/polkadot --chain=westend
You can see your node on telemetry (set a custom name with --name "my custom name").
Obtaining DOTs
If you want to do anything on Polkadot, Kusama, or Westend, then you'll need to get an account and some DOT, KSM, or WND tokens, respectively. See the claims instructions for Polkadot if you have DOTs to claim. For Westend's WND tokens, see the faucet instructions on the Wiki.
Hacking on Polkadot
If you'd actually like hack on Polkadot, you can grab the source code and build it. Ensure you have Rust and the support software installed. This script will install or update Rust and install the required dependencies (this may take up to 30 minutes on Mac machines):
curl https://getsubstrate.io -sSf | bash -s -- --fast
Then, grab the Polkadot source code:
git clone https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot.git
cd polkadot
Then build the code. You will need to build in release mode (--release) to start a network. Only
use debug mode for development (faster compile times for development and testing).
./scripts/init.sh # Install WebAssembly. Update Rust
cargo build # Builds all native code
You can run the tests if you like:
cargo test --all
You can start a development chain with:
cargo run -- --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
Development
You can run a simple single-node development "network" on your machine by running:
polkadot --dev
You can muck around by heading to https://polkadot.js.org/apps and choose "Local Node" from the Settings menu.
Local Two-node Testnet
If you want to see the multi-node consensus algorithm in action locally, then you can create a local testnet. You'll need two terminals open. In one, run:
polkadot --chain=polkadot-local --alice -d /tmp/alice
And in the other, run:
polkadot --chain=polkadot-local --bob -d /tmp/bob --port 30334 --bootnodes '/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE'
Ensure you replace ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE with the node ID from the output of the first terminal.
