Moonbeam

Information

Tests

An Ethereum compatible Parachain built with the Polkadot-SDK.

👉 Discover the Moonbeam project at moonbeam.network.
👉 Learn to use the Moonbeam network with our technical docs.
👉 Reference our crate-level docs (rustdocs) to contribute.

Run a Moonbase Alpha (Moonbeam TestNet) Node with Docker

Docker images are published for every tagged release. Learn more with moonbeam --help.

# Join the public testnet
docker run --network="host" moonbeamfoundation/moonbeam:v0.40.1 --chain alphanet

You can find more detailed instructions to run a full node in our TestNet

Run a Local Development Node with Docker

Developers who are building dApps to run on Moonbeam, may want a lightweight node to work with locally. You can quickly set up a single node without a relay chain backing it using the development service.

# Run a dev service node
docker run --network="host" moonbeamfoundation/moonbeam:v0.40.1 --dev

For more information, see our detailed instructions to run a development node

Sealing Options

The above command will start the node in instant seal mode. It creates a block when a transaction arrives, similar to Ganache's auto-mine. You can also choose to author blocks at a regular interval, or control authoring manually through the RPC.

# Author a block every 6 seconds.
docker run --network="host" moonbeamfoundation/moonbeam:v0.40.1 --dev --sealing 6000

# Manually control the block authorship and finality
docker run --network="host" moonbeamfoundation/moonbeam:v0.40.1 --dev --sealing manual

Prefunded Development Addresses

Running Moonbeam in development mode will pre-fund several well-known addresses that (mostly) contain the letters "th" in their names to remind you that they are for ethereum-compatible usage. These addresses are derived from Substrate's canonical mnemonic: bottom drive obey lake curtain smoke basket hold race lonely fit walk

Build the Moonbeam Node

To build Moonbeam, a proper Substrate development environment is required. If you're new to working with Substrate-based blockchains, consider starting with the Getting Started with a Moonbeam Development Node documentation.

If you need a refresher setting up your Substrate environment, see Substrate's Getting Started Guide.

Please note that cloning the master branch might result in an unstable build. If you want a stable version, check out the latest releases.

# Fetch the code
git clone https://github.com/moonbeam-foundation/moonbeam
cd moonbeam

# Build the node (The first build will be long (~30min))
cargo build --release

Run Tests

Moonbeam incorporates Rust unit tests and TypeScript integration tests, which are executed in CI and can also be run locally.

# Run the Rust unit tests
cargo test

Important

If you do not have pnpm, you can install with: npm install -g pnpm

cd test
pnpm i 
pnpm moonwall test dev_moonbase

Chain IDs

The Ethereum specification describes a numeric Chain Id. The Moonbeam mainnet will have a Chain Id of 1284, symbolizing the 1284 milliseconds it takes for a Moonbeam to reach Earth.

Moonbeam nodes support a variety of public chains and testnets, each with their respective Chain Ids as follows:

Network Description Chain ID Target Relay Runtime
Local Parachain TestNet 1280
Local Development TestNet 1281
Reserved for other TestNets 1282 - 1283
Moonbeam 1284 Polkadot
Moonriver 1285 Kusama
Moonrock 1286 Rococo
Moonbase Alpha TestNet 1287 Westend
Reserved for other public networks 1288 - 1289

Note that the runtimes can also be configured to target different relay networks.

Runtime Architecture

The Moonbeam Runtime, built using FRAME, comprises pallets from Polkadot-SDK, Frontier, and the pallets/ directory.

From Polkadot-SDK:

  • Utility: Allows users to use derivative accounts, and batch calls
  • Balances: Tracks GLMR token balances
  • Sudo: Allows a privileged account to make arbitrary runtime changes. This will be removed before launch.
  • Timestamp: On-Chain notion of time
  • Transaction Payment: Transaction payment (fee) management
  • Randomness Collective Flip: A (mock) onchain randomness beacon, which will be replaced by parachain randomness by mainnet.
  • ParachainUpgrade: A helper to perform runtime upgrades on parachains
  • ParachainInfo: A place to store parachain-relevant constants like parachain id

From Frontier:

  • EVM Chain Id: A place to store the chain id for each Moonbeam network
  • EVM: Encapsulates execution logic for an Ethereum Virtual Machine
  • Ethereum: Ethereum-style data encoding and access for the EVM.

The following pallets are stored in pallets/. They are designed for Moonbeam's specific requirements:

  • Author Inherent: Allows block authors to include their identity in a block via an inherent.
  • Parachain Staking: Minimal staking pallet that selects collators by total amount at stake

When modifying the git repository for these dependencies, a tool called diener can be used to replace the git URL and branch for each reference in all Cargo.toml files with a single command. This alleviates a lot of the repetitive modifications necessary when changing dependency versions.
