nillion-devnet

The nillion-devnet tool creates a Nillion network devnet that you can interact with while you keep the process running.

Run Devnet​

Usage: nillion-devnet [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -n, --node-count <NODE_COUNT>
          The number of nodes in the devnet

          [default: 3]

  -c, --cluster-id <CLUSTER_ID>
          The uuid of the cluster.

          A random uuid will be used if none is provided, honoring the --seed parameter.

  -d, --state-directory <STATE_DIRECTORY>

          A temporary directory will be used if none is provided.

  -s, --seed <SEED>
          The seed to use, if any, for keys and cluster ids.

          If none is provided, node keys and the cluster id will be randomized.

  -p, --prime-bits <PRIME_BITS>
          The number of bits in the prime number to be used

          [default: 256]

  -V, --version
          Print version
