How to run a local dev node

1. Install

• Install docker and docker compose
• Clone and cd into nitro repo
• Run

  git submodule update --init --recursive
• Run

  ./test-node.bash --init
  This will build and launch the node.

2. Launch node

• To relaunch node, run

  ./test-node.bash

  (⚠️ Note that running with the --init flag will clear all chain data and redeploy!)

  The L1 Geth devnet will be running at http://localhost:8545 and the L2 Nitro devnet at http://localhost:8547.

  The following accounts will be prefunded with Ether:

  • L2 Nitro devnet: 0x683642c22feDE752415D4793832Ab75EFdF6223c with private key 0xe887f7d17d07cc7b8004053fb8826f6657084e88904bb61590e498ca04704cf2

  • both networks: 0x3f1Eae7D46d88F08fc2F8ed27FCb2AB183EB2d0E with private key 0xb6b15c8cb491557369f3c7d2c287b053eb229daa9c22138887752191c9520659

Get core contracts

For addresses of the deployed core protocol contracts, run

docker exec nitro-sequencer-1  cat /config/deployment.json

For the outbox address, run (replace "PUT_THE_ROLLUP_ADDRESS_HERE" with rollup address):

curl 'http://localhost:8545/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":0,"method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"PUT_THE_ROLLUP_ADDRESS_HERE","data":"0xce11e6ab"},"latest"]}'
