PoA

From sources

Requirements Stable rust: 1.50 Nightly rust: 1.52

Check this page to install rust and others dependencies, according to your platform.

1. Get and compile bifrost source code.

   git clone https://github.com/bifrost-finance/bifrost.git
   cd bifrost
   git checkout ark-poa
   cargo build --release

   It might take lots of time on compilation.

2. Find POA chain spec. It locates at bin/node/service/res/bifrost-poa.json.

3. Start a node.

   There're three roles of bifrost node.

Validator

1. Start node.

   ./target/release/bifrost \
   --chain bin/node/service/res/bifrost-poa.json \
   --base-path your_db_path \
   --name "Your Node Name" \
   --rpc-cors all \
   --validator

2. Get session key.

   curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "author_rotateKeys", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9933

3. Register as an validator.

4. Ongoing. Picture about how to set set session key

5. Ongoing. Approve this register as validator.

6. Wait an epoch to see whether your validator produces block or not.

7. Show some proof this validator is producing blocks.

Docker Image

Requirements: docker

1. Pull POA image.

   docker pull bifrostnetwork/bifrost:bifrost-poa

2. Start a node.

   There're three roles of bifrost node.

Validator

1. Start node.

   docker run \
   -it \
   -p 30333:30333 \
   -p 9944:9944 \
   -p 9933:9933 \
   -v /root/disk/bifrost-node:/node \
   bifrostnetwork/bifrost:bifrostnetwork/bifrost:bifrost-poa \
   --base-path your_db_path \
   --name "Your Node Name" \
   --rpc-cors all \
   --validator

2. Get session key.

   curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "author_rotateKeys", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9933

3. Register as an validator.

4. Wait an epoch to see whether your validator produces block or not.
