Acquiring RPC Endpoints for Development

Tenderly

We use Tenderly to fork the Gnosis Mainnet chain for development purposes. This allows us to interact with the chain without risking real funds.

1. Create a Tenderly Account

Go to Tenderly and create an account.

2. Create a Project

Create a new project in Tenderly.

3. Fork the Gnosis Mainnet

  1. Go to the Forks section under the Development tab in your Tenderly dashboard.

  2. Click Create Fork.

  3. Select "Gnosis Chain" as the network.

  4. Use Chain ID 100.

  5. Copy the RPC URL provided by Tenderly.

4. Set the RPC URL

Set the FORK_URL and DEV_RPC environment variables in your .env file to the RPC URL provided by Tenderly.

5. Fund Your Accounts

Click the Fund Accounts button in Tenderly to fund your accounts with XDAI (native token) and OLAS.

6. Keeping Your Fork Up-to-Date

It is important to update your fork periodically to ensure that your forked chain is up-to-date with mainnet. You can do this by creating a new fork in Tenderly and updating your FORK_URL and DEV_RPC environment variables.

Alternatively, you can try the Tenderly's virtual testnet feature, which can automatically update your fork for you relative to mainnet. Though, this sometimes results in instability.

Hardhat (deprecated)

Hardhat is a local alternative to Tenderly for forking EVM chains. It is useful for development purposes, though the chain state is lost once the Hardhat node is turned off.
