Setup the ETH RPC Adaptor for the Script Testnet
This page provides the instructions to setup the ETH RPC Adaptor for the Script Testnet on a virtual machine. The adaptor is a middleware which translates the Script RPC interface to the Ethereum RPC interface. To enable the Script ETH RPC API service, you’d need to run
the Script Node, and
the Script/ETH RPC adaptor on the same VM.
Below is the recommended VM spec:
OS: Ubuntu (18.04.4 LTS or higher version)
CPU: 4 cores or more
Memory: 32 GB or more
Hardrive: 1 TB+ SSD drive
(I) Install and Launch the Script Testnet Node (https://whitepaper.script.tv/validators/validator-node-setup)
(II) Install and Launch the ETH RPC adaptor
Install the adaptor
You'd need to compile the adaptor from the source code. First, install Go 1.14.2 and set environment variables GOPATH , GOBIN, and PATH. Next, clone the Script blockchain repo and install Script following the steps below:
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/scripttoken
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/scripttoken
git clone https://github.com/scriptnetwork/Node-Network-guide.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/scripttoken/script
cd script
git checkout release
export GO111MODULE=on
make install
Next, clone the script-eth-rpc-adaptor repo:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/scripttoken
git clone https://github.com/scriptnetwork/script-eth-rpc-adaptor.git
Following the steps below to build the script-eth-rpc-adaptor binary and copy it into your $GOPATH/bin.
export SCRIPT_ETH_RPC_ADAPTOR_HOME=$GOPATH/src/github.com/scripttoken/script-eth-rpc-adaptor
cd $SCRIPT_ETH_RPC_ADAPTOR_HOME
export GO111MODULE=on
make install
Start the Adaptor
Now, create the config folder for the RPC adaptor
export SCRIPT_ETH_RPC_ADAPTOR_HOME=$GOPATH/src/github.com/scripttoken/script-eth-rpc-adaptor
cd $SCRIPT_ETH_RPC_ADAPTOR_HOME
mkdir -p ../scriptnet/eth-rpc-adaptor
Use your favorite editor to open file ../scriptnet/eth-rpc-adaptor/config.yaml, paste in the follow content, save and close the file:
script:
rpcEndpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:16888/rpc"
node:
skipInitializeTestWallets: true
rpc:
enabled: true
httpAddress: "0.0.0.0"
httpPort: 18888
wsAddress: "0.0.0.0"
wsPort: 18889
timeoutSecs: 600
maxConnections: 2048
log:
levels: "*:info"
Then, launch the adaptor binary with the following command:
screen -S rpc_adaptor # if you run the node on a Linux server
cd $SCRIPT_ETH_RPC_ADAPTOR_HOME
script-eth-rpc-adaptor start --config=../scriptnet/eth-rpc-adaptor
The ETH RPC server should now be started at port 18888.
Sanity checks
After the adaptor is started, you can issue the following curl commands to make sure the ETH RPC APIs service is up and running. Note that in the config.yaml file, rpc.httpAddress is set to "0.0.0.0", which enables the RPC APIs to be accessible from a remote machine. Of course, you'd also need to setup proper firewall rules to allow remote access.
Query Chain ID
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":67}' http://127.0.0.1:18888/rpc
Query synchronization status
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' http://127.0.0.1:18888/rpc
Query block number
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":83}' http://127.0.0.1:18888/rpc
Query account SPAY balance (should return an integer which represents the current SPAY balance in wei)
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBalance","params":["0xc15149236229bd13f0aec783a9cc8e8059fb28da", "latest"],"id":1}' http://127.0.0.1:18888/rpc
