Nym local testnet

This is a local testnet for the Nym Network in Docker. It creates a custom cosmos blockchain, uploads the nym smart contract, and then also launches the nym network with mixnodes, gateway, api, and clients. I took inspiration from the docker folder in the nym repository.

Specifically, it will build and run the following containers:

• A genesis validator
• A secondary validator
• A contract builder that compiles the nym vesting and mixnet smart contracts
• A contract uploader that uploads and instantiates the smart contracts to the Cosmos blockchain.
• A binary builder that builds the nym binaries with modified smart contract addresses
• A nym API
• 3 mix nodes
• 1 entry gateway
• 2 nym clients

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker compose

Quickstart

To build and run the Docker environment, simply run

docker compose up

It will build and run all of the above containers. This may take a while.

If you want to rebuild the whole network and blockchain, delete the data folder + containers or use the script:

sh rebuild.sh
