Quick Start (L1 localnet)

This page will show you how to quickly spin up a local development network with ethrex.

Prerequisites

Starting a local devnet

make localnet

This make target will:

  1. Build our node inside a docker image.
  2. Fetch our fork ethereum package, a private testnet on which multiple ethereum clients can interact.
  3. Start the localnet with kurtosis.

If everything went well, you should be faced with our client's logs (ctrl-c to leave).

Stopping a local devnet

To stop everything, simply run:

make stop-localnet
