Testnet - Guide to Setup Acala/Karura Testnet Nodes

[andreclaro]

Hello,

I would like to setup testnet nodes for Acala and Karura. Can someone help with which flags/configuration should I use?

Thank you!

Tried to run acala with the following settings (--chain=acala-dev):

/usr/local/bin/acala \
    --base-path=/var/lib/acala/data \
    --chain=acala-dev \
    --name=XXXX \
    --database=paritydb \
    --pruning=200000 \
    --rpc-cors=all \
    --rpc-external \
    --rpc-port=9933 \
    --rpc-max-connections=500 \
    --port=30333 \
    --execution=wasm \
    --prometheus-external \
    --prometheus-port=961

But acala is not getting peers:

acala eth rpc: https://eth-rpc-acala-testnet.aca-staging.network

I sent 1000 ACA/KAR to the 0x8F26A0025dcCc6Cfc07A7d38756280a10E295ad7, please update the testnet and re-deploy the contracts.

We have updated the node so that it is no longer necessary to specify the gas-price parameter.

Hello @zjb0807, Thanks a million! We will get back to you when contracts are deployed. Cheers!

[andreclaro]

@zjb0807 , can you confirm the karura node is operating correctly? I'm unable to deploy the wormhole core contract... I'm getting server returned an error response: error code -32603: execution reverted:

It worked for acala: https://blockscout.acala-testnet.aca-staging.network/address/0x64fb09E405D2043ed7785a29E296C766D56F2056

[zjb0807]

@andreclaro Do you happen to have more details? Is there a raw transaction that I can broadcast to the network again?
I see all transactions are successful on the karura testnet.

hi @zjb0807 , we are trying to understand what went wrong and I will share more with you soon. Thanks

hi @andreclaro, after I attested reth from sepolia to acala testnet, on transfer page it still shows Target asset unavailable.
Could you please double check if the contracts are configured correctly? Thanks

The UI I am using is this PR, with fixed acala rpc url

links:

• attest tx on sepolia
• register tx on acala testnet

[andreclaro]

We are still working on it... I will let you know when it is completed.

thanks a lot!
