Follow these steps to prepare a local Substrate development environment 🛠️

Install all the required dependencies with a single command (be patient, this can take up to 30 minutes).

curl https://getsubstrate.io -sSf | bash -s -- --fast

Find manual setup instructions at the Substrate Developer Hub.

Once the development environment is set up, build the node. This command will build the Wasm and native code:

make build

Prerequisites:

• Relay chain repository (polkadot) has to be built in ../polkadot
• Grab zombienet utility used to start network from releases

cd ./launch-configs/zombienet
zombienet spawn local.json

Go to the Polkadot apps at https://dotapps.io

Connect to the local testnet at ws://localhost:9988 or live wss://basilisk.hydradx.io:9944

NOTE - FixedU128 type is not yet implemented for polkadot apps. Balance is a measure so price can be reasonably selected. If using polkadot apps to create pool:

• 1 Mega Units equals 1:1 price
• 20 Mega Units equals 20:1 price
• 50 Kilo Units equals 0.05:1 price

The try-runtime tool can be used to test storage migrations and runtime upgrades against state from a real chain. Run the following command to test against the state on Basilisk on Kusama. Don't forget to use a runtime built with try-runtime feature.

try-runtime --runtime ./target/release/wbuild/basilisk-runtime/basilisk_runtime.wasm on-runtime-upgrade --checks all live --uri wss://rpc.basilisk.cloud:443

or against the Basilisk testnet on Rococo using --uri wss://rococo-basilisk-rpc.hydration.dev:443

Chopsticks can be used to dry-run any transaction in parallel reality of any Substrate network.

Setting up the repo:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/AcalaNetwork/chopsticks.git && cd chopsticks
yarn
yarn build-wasm

To run Kusama-Basilisk-Karura setup use configs from launch-configs/chopsticks and run

npx @acala-network/[email protected] xcm --relaychain=configs/kusama.yml --parachain=configs/basilisk.yml --parachain=configs/karura.yml
