Mac Install

This page contains instructions for installing the Zond Testnet #BUIDL Preview on Mac.

INFO

Tested on MacOS Sequoia Version 15.3.1 (Apple Silicon)

Getting started with the Zond testnet Local system

1. Install prerequisites

If you haven't done so already, install brew, then install docker and other prerequesites with brew.

brew install bazelisk kurtosis-tech/tap/kurtosis-cli jq yq

2. Clone the repo & cd into it

git clone https://github.com/theQRL/qrysm -b dev && cd qrysm

3. Running & testing the local Local Private Network

You can easily start and stop the local network by executing the following scripts

To start

bash ./scripts/local_testnet/start_local_testnet.sh

To stop

bash ./scripts/local_testnet/stop_local_testnet.sh

To test the private test network (replace the MAPPED_PORT in the following with port that is mapped to 8545 that you see after running previous step which is Step 2. Start the private test network).

curl http://127.0.0.1:MAPPED_PORT/ -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method":"zond_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest", false],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' | jq -e

Pro-tip:

If you want to easily see what ports are mapped to 8545 you can use this command

docker ps --format '{{.Ports}}' | grep 8545 | sed 's/0.0.0.0://g'

4. PreMined Coins or Funding Accounts at Genesis

cd qrysm
nano scripts/local_testnet/network_params.yaml

In the yaml, under prefunded_accounts:

Add your Zond address with balance and restart the network

Once you restarted your network you can check the balance by the following command, (Replace MAPPED_PORT by the local mapped port for 8545 and YOUR_ADDRESS with the Zond address that you added in previous step)

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST localhost:MAPPED_PORT --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"zond_getBalance","params":["YOUR_ADDRESS", "latest"],"id":1}'
