## CosmWasm Node Setup Here we describe how to initialize accounts and balances on a CosmWasm blockchain. We'll assume you're using `wasmd` but it could be `neutrond` or any other. We'll also assume your chain ID is `testing`. Run `wasmd init --chain-id testing` to initialize the local wasmd folder. Now open the file `~/.wasmd/config/client.toml` and change the field `keyring-backend` from `os` to `test`: ```toml keyring-backend = "test" ``` Now, finally, we can create a local admin key for your wasmd. You'll use this to deploy contracts: ```bash wasmd keys add admin ``` This should output a wasm address. Now either you will setup a local testnet or use an existing testnet. If its an existing testnet, you need to fund this account. Send this address to someone who has access to the admin account for your testnet. If you have access yourself you can send funds yourself: ```bash wasmd tx bank send --chain-id testing -y ``` If you're setting up your own local testnet, continue with the following: ```bash # generate a second key for the validator wasmd keys add validator # fund both accounts in genesis wasmd genesis add-genesis-account admin 100000000000stake,100000000000ucosm wasmd genesis add-genesis-account validator 100000000000stake,100000000000ucosm # sign genesis tx from validator and compose genesis wasmd genesis gentx validator 100000000stake --chain-id testing wasmd genesis collect-gentxs ``` Before finally starting the node, for it to work with the front end, you need to configure CORS. In `~/.wasmd/config/config.toml`, you'll need to make sure the listen address binds to the public IP (0.0.0.0) and the CORS allows all origins: ```toml [rpc] laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:26657" cors_allowed_origins = ["*"] ``` And in `~/.wasmd/config/app.toml`: ```toml [api] enable = true address = "tcp://0.0.0.0:1317" enabled-unsafe-cors = true ``` Now, finally: ```bash wasmd start ``` And you should have a chain making blocks! You can also reduce the block time by lowering `timeout_commit` in `~/.wasmd/config/config.toml`. Now that you have the chain running, you can start running the enclave and proxy in other windows.
