AERX Node

We are developing a web 3 social network based on the Substrate protocol, with a fundamentally new approach to content monetization and the exchange of digital values.

AEX is the native token of the AERX network in a similar way that BTC is the native token of Bitcoin or Ether is the native token of the Ethereum blockchain.

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 Playground 🛠️

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
cargo run --release --features=runtime-benchmarks

Build

The cargo run command will perform an initial build. Use the following command to build the node without launching it:

cargo build --release
cargo build --release --features=runtime-benchmarks

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/appchain-barnacle --dev

Purge the development chain's state:

./target/release/appchain-barnacle purge-chain --dev

Start the development chain with detailed logging:

RUST_LOG=debug RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ./target/release/appchain-barnacle -lruntime=debug --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.
