Aura

This repository contains source code for Aurad (Aura Daemon). Aurad binary is the official client for Aura Network. Aurad is built using Cosmos SDK

Aura Network is a NFT-centric blockchain platform that provides infrastructure assisting to bring user assets to the crypto market.

Prerequisite

• Go 1.20

Install Aura daemon

Using Makefile

    make

The aurad bin file is located on ${source_directory}/build/ or GO_PATH (default ~/go/bin/)

Setup a LocalNet

Initialize the Chain

# <moniker> is the custom username of the node
# <chain-id> is the identity of the chain
aurad init <moniker> --chain-id <chain-id>

This command will initialize the home folder containing necessary components for your chain
(default: ~/.aura)

Customize the genesis file

A genesis file is a JSON file which defines the initial state of your blockchain. It can be seen as height 0 of your blockchain. The first block, at height 1, will reference the genesis file as its parent.

The docs about genesis customization: https://hub.cosmos.network/main/resources/genesis.html

Create your validator

Create a local key pair for creating validator:

aurad keys add <key_name> 

Add some tokens to the wallet:

aurad add-genesis-account <key_name> <amount><denom>

Create a validtor generation transaction:

aurad gentx <key_name> <amount><denom> --chain-id <chain-id>

Collect the gentx to genesis file:

aurad collect-gentxs

Run a node

aurad start 

Run a local test node

sh scripts/testnode.sh

Setup testnet using testnetCmd
