Safrochain is a Cosmos SDK-based blockchain designed for secure, scalable, and interoperable decentralized applications. Powered by its native token SAF and featuring full IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) support, Safrochain empowers developers to build innovative dApps that integrate seamlessly with the Cosmos ecosystem.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions to set up a Safrochain node, sync with the network, create accounts, and interact with the chain.

• Cosmos SDK-Based: Built with the Cosmos SDK for performance and modularity.
• Native Token: SAF (base denom: saf, display denom: SAF, where 1 SAF = 10^6 microsaf).
• IBC Enabled: Interoperable with other Cosmos chains.
• Custom Module: Includes a dedicated safrochain module (Module Docs).
• Public Endpoints:
  • RPC: https://rpcsafro.cardanotask.com
  • REST: https://safro.cardanotask.com
• Chain ID: safrochain

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Go (>=1.18): Install Go
• Git: Install Git
• Make: Usually included in Linux distributions
• jq: Optional, for JSON parsing
• Other dependencies from Cosmos SDK

To install prerequisites on Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git make jq build-essential

# Install Go
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Option 1: Fork and Clone

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/safrochain.git
cd safrochain

Option 2: Direct Clone

git clone https://github.com/safrochain/safrochain.git
cd safrochain

make install

This will install safrochaind to $GOPATH/bin.

Ensure $GOPATH/bin is in your environment:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
safrochaind version

safrochaind init <your-moniker> --chain-id safrochain

Replace <your-moniker> with a unique identifier for your node.

Download the latest genesis file:

curl http://180.149.197.176:26657/genesis | jq '.result.genesis' > ~/.safrochaind/config/genesis.json

Configure the persistent peer:

sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$(curl -s http://180.149.197.176:26657/status | jq -r '.result.node_info.id')@180.149.197.176:26656\"/" ~/.safrochaind/config/config.toml

Set minimum gas price:

sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.0001saf\"/" ~/.safrochaind/config/app.toml

Download address book (optional):

wget -O ~/.safrochaind/config/addrbook.json http://180.149.197.176:26657/addrbook.json

Create a new key:

safrochaind keys add <your-key-name>

Backup the mnemonic securely.

List all keys:

safrochaind keys list

Start the node:

safrochaind start --minimum-gas-prices=0.0001saf

To run in background:

nohup safrochaind start --minimum-gas-prices=0.0001saf > safrochaind.log 2>&1 &

Check node status:

curl http://localhost:26657/status

To receive test SAF tokens:

1. Visit: https://faucet.cardanotask.com
2. Enter your addr_safro... address

Check balance:

safrochaind query bank balances <your-address> --node https://rpcsafro.cardanotask.com
