Gridgen

Initialize a new network

To initialize a new network, run:

gridgen network create <chain-id> <node-count> <output-dir> <seed-ip-address>

Where:

Parameter	Description
chain-id	The Chain ID.
node-count	The number of nodes (validators) to generate config for.
output-dir	The root directory of where all the config files should be written to.
seed-ip-address	The IP (v4) address of the seed node.

This will then output all the necessary keys and genesis files that are required to boot a new network.

Create a new node

In addition to creating a new network, you can also create a node (listener/witness) to connect to an existing network, by running:

gridgen node create <chain-id> <peer-address> <genesis-url>

Where:

Parameter	Description
chain-id	The Chain ID.
peer-address	The peer address of the existing network node/validator to connect to.
genesis-url	The URL of the genesis file to use.
