How to run Incognito Blockchain on your local server

#1

This is the setup to run the very basic incognito blockchain on your local server. Your blockchain network will contain 2 Highway-Proxies, 4 nodes in Beacon, 4 nodes in Shard-0, 4 nodes in Shard-1. In short, you will setup 2 Highway and 12 nodes in only one server.

Prerequisites:

  • Ubuntu 18.04 or higher
  • git
  • golang 1.12.9
  • tmux
  • curl

Minimum hardware requirement:

  • 8 CPU ~ 2.4Ghz
  • 12 GB of RAM

recommended hardware requirement:

  • 16 CPU ~ 2.4Ghz
  • 24 GB of RAM

SECTION I: DEPLOY THE INCOGNITO-HIGHWAY

  1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/incognitochain/incognito-highway.git

  1. Checkout the branch testnet

git checkout testnet

  1. Create tmux sessions:
tmux new -s highway1
Ctrl B D (detach)
tmux new -s highway2
Ctrl B D (detach)
  1. Build the highway binary
go build -o highway
  1. Run the highway
tmux send-keys -t highway1 C-C ENTER ./run.sh lc1 ENTER
tmux send-keys -t highway2 C-C ENTER ./run.sh lc2 ENTER

SECTION II: DEPLOY THE CHAIN

  1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/incognitochain/incognito-chain.git

  1. Check out the tag 20200309_1

git checkout 20200309_1

  1. Modify the following params in ./incognito-chain/common/constants.go 
MaxShardNumber = 2
  • This means you are running 2 Shards
  1. Generate 4 (or more) key sets for user:
  • Edit the ./incognito-chain/utility/genkeywithpassword.go 
numberOfKey := 2                              		// Number of key sets that you want to be generated; 2 address x 2 shard = 4 keyset
randomString := []byte("YourRandomStringOne")    	// A random string used to create keyset. The same string create the same keyset
  • Execute the script to generate keyset:

go run utility/genkeywithpassword.go

  • Sample output:
 ***** Shard 0 ****

------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Generate genesis block data. Use the address of shard-0 that we created at step4, as the address to receive the initial PRV. Edit the file utility/transaction/main.go
  • Comment the line initThankTx 
// initThankTx(db)
  • Replace the privatekey and initial amount as you want
testUserkeyList := map[string]uint64{
		"112t8rncBDbGaFrAE7MZz14d2NPVWprXQuHHXCD2TgSV8USaDFZY3MihVWSqKjwy47sTQ6XvBgNYgdKH2iDVZruKQpRSB5JqxDAX6sjMoUT6": uint64(5000000000000000),
	}
  • Run the script. For eg.: (5mil PRV)

go run utility/transaction/main.go

[{
  "Version": 1,
  "Type": "s",
  "LockTime": 1571901589,
  "Fee": 0,
  "Info": null,
  "SigPubKey": "au7tQYOeTVqLKkxlRnGo1zGJelpAr0aE0mUqhVtGvTg=",

  "PubKeyLastByteSender": 56,
  "Metadata": null
}]
  1. Copy genesis block data to ./incognito-chain/blockchain/constantstx.go,
    replace the output at step5 to the section TestnetInitPRV.
var TestnetInitPRV = []string{
	`{
		"Version": 1,
		"Type": "s",
		"LockTime": 1571901589,

		"PubKeyLastByteSender": 56,
		"Metadata": null
	}`,
}
  1. Modify the following params in ./incognito-chain/blockchain/constants.go 
TestRandom              = true	  // System will auto generate the random number
TestnetEpoch            = 20			// An epoch = 20 beacon blocks
TestnetRandomTime       = 10			// At beacon blocks 10th, the random number will be generated

TestNetShardCommitteeSize     = 6		// Maximum number of committee in a shard
TestNetMinShardCommitteeSize  = 4		// Minimum number of committee in a shard
TestNetBeaconCommitteeSize    = 4		// Beacon committee size
TestNetMinBeaconCommitteeSize = 4		// Minimum number of committee in beacon
TestNetActiveShards           = 2		// Number of Shard in Incognito Blockchain
  1. Modify the following params in ./incognito-chain/blockchain/params.go: (Under ChainTestParam section)
CheckForce:   false, 					          // Avoid system update when received signal from Master Server
BeaconHeightBreakPointBurnAddr: 1,      // Apply newest burning address started from block beacon no. 1
  1. Generate 12 keyset for committee node:
  • edit the ./incognito-chain/utility/genkeywithpassword.go 
numberOfKey := 6                              		// Number of keyset that you want to be generated. 6 address in 2 shard: 6x2=12 (keyset)
randomString := []byte("YourRandomStringTwo")    	// A random string used to create keyset. The same string create the same keyset
  • Execute the script to generate keyset:

go run utility/genkeywithpassword.go

  • Sample Output:

go run utility/genkeywithpassword.go 

 ***** Shard 0 **** 
0
<keyset_0>
------------------------------------------------------------

<keyset_1>
------------------------------------------------------------
2

------------------------------------------------------------
5
<keyset_5>
------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Edit the ./incognito-chain/keylist.json, replace the PaymentAddress and CommitteePublicKey that we generated at step9
  • use 2 shard-0 keyset for beacon-0 & beacon-1
  • use 2 shard-1 keyset for beacon-2 & beacon-3
  • use 4 shard-0 keyset for shard-00 01 02 03
  • use 4 shard-1 keyset for shard-10 11 12 13
  • ignore the keylist in shard-2 3 4 5 6 7

  1. Edit the ./incognito-chain/start_node.sh, replace the PrivateKey that we generated at step9

  2. Build Incognito binary file:

cd ./incognito-chain/
go build -o incognito
  1. Create Tmux session

bash create_tmux.sh

  • This script create 13 tmux sessions, 4 for beacon, 4 for shard1, 4 for shard2, and 1 for Fullnode
  1. Start the chain

bash start_chain.sh

  • This script calls the start_node.sh script in each tmux session
  1. Verify that the chain is running: go to each tmux session, you would see the running log on screen.
    eg:

tmux a -t fullnode

SECTION III: TEST THE CHAIN

Incognito Blockchain can be tested by making RPC request.

Get block chain info:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[],"id":1}' \
  http://192.168.0.1:9354

Get balance by private key:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"getbalancebyprivatekey","params":["<privatekey_you_input_at_section2_step5>"],"id":1}' \
  http://192.168.0.1:9334

Send PRV:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"jsonrpc": "1.0","method": "createandsendtransaction","params": ["<private_key>",{"<payment_address>": <ammount_in_nanoPRV>}, -1, 0],"id": 1}' \
  http://192.168.0.1:9334

Eg:

  • Get balance address 0
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"getbalancebyprivatekey","params":["112t8rncBDbGaFrAE7MZz14d2NPVWprXQuHHXCD2TgSV8USaDFZY3MihVWSqKjwy47sTQ6XvBgNYgdKH2iDVZruKQpRSB5JqxDAX6sjMoUT6"],"id":1}' \
  http://vps162:9334
  • send from address 0 to address 1 (same shard)
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"jsonrpc": "1.0","method": "createandsendtransaction","params": ["112t8rncBDbGaFrAE7MZz14d2NPVWprXQuHHXCD2TgSV8USaDFZY3MihVWSqKjwy47sTQ6XvBgNYgdKH2iDVZruKQpRSB5JqxDAX6sjMoUT6",{"12S1FVsi5eBSFeGEr6YVBYDdF54dyJZvE59cuZ9dFK9RSkcjznSnDLqaWtsCCFTxPzBWMSA5MfepkdTma8ZAZjJqqadthN2C3QCNh5N": 99000000000}, -1, 0],"id": 1}' \
  http://vps162:9334
  • send from address 0 to address 2 (cross shard)
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"jsonrpc": "1.0","method": "createandsendtransaction","params": ["112t8rncBDbGaFrAE7MZz14d2NPVWprXQuHHXCD2TgSV8USaDFZY3MihVWSqKjwy47sTQ6XvBgNYgdKH2iDVZruKQpRSB5JqxDAX6sjMoUT6",{"12RquWY3vpaSPMtAQEozAB1pgbJJnnphzhJTux2VGaX5eHBxYGKcUTYEqJqQdAUsjzr8cpNQRnSTygnduxBpBvrqH1XthdrJMxCQyaC": 69000000000}, -1, 0],"id": 1}' \
  http://vps162:9334
  • Get balance address 0
  • Get balance address 1
  • Get balance address 2

Any questions are welcome!
Happy mining… :slight_smile:
