Evolve

This Ignite App is aimed to extend Ignite CLI and bootstrap the development of a Evolve network.

Prerequisites

• Ignite CLI version v28.9.0 or greater.
• Knowledge of blockchain development (Cosmos SDK).

Usage

ignite s chain gm --address-prefix gm --minimal --no-module
cd gm
ignite app install -g github.com/ignite/apps/evolve@latest
ignite evolve add
ignite chain build --skip-proto
ignite evolve init # only for genesis chains. Otherwise follow the migration steps.

Then start local-da or use Celestia mainnet as data availability layer.

cd gm
go tool github.com/evstack/ev-node/tools/local-da

Finally, run the network:

gmd start --rollkit.node.aggregator

Migrations

If you want to migrate your running chain to Evolve, first scaffold the migrations commands on your CometBFT chain:

ignite evolve add-migrate

This will add the migration module to your chain. Then add manually a chain migration in the upgrade handler to add this new module and submit a gov proposal to initiate the validator set migration.

Once the chain has halted, run the migration command on each node:

gmd evolve-migrate

You are ready to integrate Evolve! Follow the 1 steps to add it to your chain.
