PezkuwiChain Beta Testnet Configuration

This repository contains the configuration files needed to run validators 5-8 on Computer 2 for the PezkuwiChain Beta Testnet.

Contents

• chainspec/beta-testnet.json - Raw chainspec file (5.2MB) - CRITICAL FILE
• scripts/ - Validator startup scripts for Computer 2 (validators 5-8)
• keys/ - Session keys for validators 5-8 (to be added)

Computer 1 (Bootnode + Validators 1-4)

• IP: 172.31.134.70
• Validators: 1, 2, 3, 4
• Bootnode: /ip4/172.31.134.70/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWLdhYkAXWWR7fFSWhMmBFgHVTf78ZWaWf2BpJxzJbTqCU
• Genesis Hash: 0xa017f4bbea9c44b29244277ce562405a774f6555d04901c846222e3ac7e554b1

Computer 2 (Validators 5-8)

• IP: 172.17.184.230
• Validators: 5, 6, 7, 8
• Ports: P2P 30337-30340, RPC 9948-9951

Setup Instructions for Computer 2

1. Clone this repository

cd /home/mesut
git clone <YOUR_PRIVATE_REPO_URL> pezkuwi-beta-config

2. Copy chainspec to SDK directory

cp pezkuwi-beta-config/chainspec/beta-testnet.json /home/mesut/Pezkuwi-SDK/computer1-beta-chainspec.json

3. Verify chainspec file

ls -lh /home/mesut/Pezkuwi-SDK/computer1-beta-chainspec.json
# Should show: 5.2M

4. Clean old chain data (important!)

rm -rf /tmp/beta-validator-{5,6,7,8}

5. Make scripts executable

chmod +x pezkuwi-beta-config/scripts/*.sh

6. Copy scripts to SDK

cp -r pezkuwi-beta-config/scripts/* /home/mesut/Pezkuwi-SDK/scripts/computer2/

7. Insert validator keys (if not done already)

cd /home/mesut/Pezkuwi-SDK/scripts
./insert-all-beta-keys.sh

8. Start all validators

cd /home/mesut/Pezkuwi-SDK/scripts/computer2
./start-all-validators-computer2.sh

9. Verify validators are running

# Check processes
ps aux | grep pezkuwi

# Check logs
tail -f /tmp/beta-validator-5.log
tail -f /tmp/beta-validator-6.log
tail -f /tmp/beta-validator-7.log
tail -f /tmp/beta-validator-8.log

10. Stop validators (if needed)

cd /home/mesut/Pezkuwi-SDK/scripts/computer2
./stop-validators-computer2.sh

Expected Behavior

Once all 8 validators are running:

• Each validator should show 7 peers (connected to all other validators)
• Genesis hash should match: 0xa017f4bbea9c44b29244277ce562405a774f6555d04901c846222e3ac7e554b1
• Block production should begin (requires minimum 6 validators for BFT consensus)
• Logs should show: "Prepared block for proposing"

Troubleshooting

Genesis hash mismatch

• Ensure chainspec file is exactly 5.2MB
• Re-copy from this repository
• Clean chain data: rm -rf /tmp/beta-validator-{5,6,7,8}

0 peers

• Verify Computer 1 validators are running
• Check bootnode is accessible: telnet 172.31.134.70 30333
• Verify IP addresses are correct in scripts

Keys not found

• Re-run key insertion: ./insert-all-beta-keys.sh
• Check RPC ports are correct (9948-9951)

Important Files

• DO NOT modify the chainspec file - it must match Computer 1 exactly
• Session keys are stored in validator base paths: /tmp/beta-validator-{5,6,7,8}
• Seed phrases are stored separately (NOT in this repository)
