Tracks Setup Guide

This guide will help you set up and initialize the Tracks environment.

Step 1: Remove Old Data

If you have previously set up Tracks, remove any old data to ensure a clean environment.

sudo rm -rf ~/.tracks

Step 2: Build the Tracks

make build

Step 3: Initialize the Tracks

Initialize the sequencer with the necessary parameters.

daRpc="mock-rpc"
daKey="mockKey"
daType="mock"
moniker="monkey"
stationRpc="http://127.0.0.1:8545"
stationAPI="http://127.0.0.1:8545"
stationType="evm" 

./build/tracks init --daRpc "$daRpc" --daKey "$daKey" --daType "$daType" --moniker "$moniker" --stationRpc "$stationRpc" --stationAPI "$stationAPI" --stationType "$stationType"

Step 4: Initialize the Prover

Initialize the prover. Ensure you specify the correct version.

./build/tracks prover v1EVM

Step 5: Create Keys for Junction (If not already created)

Create keys for the junction account. If the keys are not already created, use the following command:

accountName="dummy"
accountPath=".tracks/junction-accounts/keys"

./build/tracks keys junction --accountName "$accountName" --accountPath "$accountPath"

Alternatively, you can import an account using a mnemonic:

accountName="dummy"
accountPath=".tracks/junction-accounts/keys"
mnemonic="huge bounce thing settle diet mobile fruit skill call roast offer soap other upset toward sand dress moral pole smile limb round vacant ecology"

./build/tracks keys import --accountName "$accountName" --accountPath "$accountPath" --mnemonic "$mnemonic"

Step 6: Fund the wallet

• Join Airchains Discord
• Goto switchyard-faucet-bot channel
• Type $faucet <your_address>, you will get 2AMF soon.

Step 7: Create a Station on Junction

Create a station on the junction with the necessary parameters.

NOTE: don't forget to replace accountAddressArray with the addresses you want to make track member. Replace it with your new address

accountAddressArray="air16hrzql0js3awfl2cfqhf3kmachxueevw4a6f4d" #! replace it with your address
accountName="dummy"
accountPath=".tracks/junction-accounts/keys"
#jsonRPC="http://0.0.0.0:26657" # localhost testing
jsonRPC="https://airchains-testnet-rpc.itrocket.net/" # junction testnet 
bootstrapNode="/ip4/192.168.1.24/tcp/2300/p2p/12D3KooWFoN66sCWotff1biUcnBE2vRTmYJRHJqZy27x1EpBB6AM"
info="EVM Track"

./build/tracks create-station --tracks "$accountAddressArray" --accountName "$accountName" --accountPath "$accountPath" --jsonRPC "$jsonRPC" --info "$info" --bootstrapNode "$bootstrapNode"

Step 8: Start the Tracks

Finally, start the node to begin interacting with the Tracks blockchain.

./build/tracks start

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during setup, refer to official documentation or reach out Airchains discord for support.
