Our goal is to make subnets easy. For cloud based development, we have GoGoPro (Coming Soon!). If you want to develop locally, we have GoGoTools. With GoGoTools, you can:
- Make your “Time to RPC” 10x faster
- Easily create many isolated environments to test different versions of binaries
- Deploy and test your Smart Contracts entirely locally
Installation
You can download the latest binary from the GitHub Releases or you can build from source. Once you have the binary, move it to your PATH and rename it to ggt.
To properly use GoGoTools, you should have Foundry and jq installed as well. Foundry is a new Solidity toolchain written in Rust, and can be installed on Unix based systems with the following commands:
curl -L <https://foundry.paradigm.xyz> | bash
foundryupYou can install jq using your preferred package manager. For example:
brew install jqor on Ubuntu and Debian
sudo apt update && sudo apt install jq -yOnce all that is done, you can start using GoGoTools!
Note for MacOS Users
When you download the binary, it may pop up an error warning you about executing the binary that’s not signed. Simply go to your security settings and allow GoGoTools, and it should work afterwards without issue.
Getting Started
Create a new directory called mysubnet
mkdir mysubnet
cd mysubnetNow we can initialize a new subnet!
ggt utils init v1.10.1 v0.5.1
ggt node prepare MyNode --ava-bin=avalanchego-v1.10.1 --vm-name=subnetevm --vm-bin=subnet-evm-v0.5.1This should have added some new files to your directory. We will go over what they do at a later date, for now just remember that they are needed for your subnet to work properly.
To start up your node, open a new terminal window in the same directory and run the following
ggt node run MyNodeNow that your node is running, we can create a new subnet on the node.
Creating a Subnet
Now we can initialize your subnet! To initialize, run the following commands in another terminal:
ggt wallet create-chain MyNode MyChain subnetevmThis will initialize and create a new wallet. To get the RPC URL of the new subnet as well as the local C Chain, we can run the following command:
ggt node info | jq -r '.rpcs'You can use this RPC URL in Metamask, Hardhat, Truffle, or any other development tool just like any other Eth-based network. To properly use cast, which is Foundry’s tool for calling commands on chain, we need to add the environment variable ETH_RPC_URL to the current session. Execute the following:
export ETH_RPC_URL=`ggt node info | jq -r '.rpcs.MyChain'`Now we can call cast directly:
cast chain-idOr via ggt cast
ggt cast balances | jqMultiple Nodes
Each node you create exists in its own directory. You can create many different nodes with different settings and configs as you experiment. You can start a particular node by saying
ggt node run <directoryname>
Precompiles
When we created our subnet, ggt created a directory called MyNode which contains all of the various configuration files, database files, and logs for avalanchego. If you want to play around with the built-in precompiles that SubnetEVM ships with, find the subnetevm-genesis.json file inside the MyNode/configs directory. Look for this section
"contractDeployerAllowListConfig": {
"adminAddresses": ["0x8db97C7cEcE249c2b98bDC0226Cc4C2A57BF52FC"],
"enabledAddresses": null,
"blockTimestamp": 0
},Now add an array of address to the enabledAddresses key, and lets restart our node with this genesis. To do this, run
ggt node reset MyNode
This will delete the data directory for the node, so its starts fresh. Then run
ggt node run MyNode
# In another terminal, run
ggt wallet create-chain MyNode MyChain subnetevmThis will start the node, and create a new subnetEVM blockchain with your new genesis, which should only allow specific addresses to deploy contracts.
NOTE: The addresses in the adminAddresses and enabledAddresses keys CANNOT overlap, you must have different addresses for each key.
More info about the SubnetEVM precompiles is here.
Cast
We also have some convenience features for using cast to interact with your EVM. Some examples are:
ggt cast balances | jq
ggt cast send-eth owner alice 1ether | jq
ggt cast send owner NativeMinter "mintNativeCoin(address,uint256)" alice 1ether | jq
ggt cast call owner TxAllowList "readAllowList(address)" bob
ggt cast send owner TxAllowList "setEnabled(address)" bob | jq
ggt cast call owner FeeConfigManager "getFeeConfigLastChangedAt()"
ggt cast call owner FeeConfigManager "getFeeConfig()" | xargs cast --abi-decode "getFeeConfig()(uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256)"The names used (alice, bob) are defined in the accounts.json file that was created when you ran ggt utils init.
Explorer
To launch your browser to a blockchain explorer pointed at your running node, run
ggt node explorer MyChain
This will connect to the default node RPC (http://localhost:9650) and query the node info for the RPC for your custom blockchain you created, and then open an explorer pointed at that RPC.
Mnemonics
You can generate a BIP-39 mnemonic with
ggt utils mnemonic
To see all the keys and addresses for a mnemonic, run
ggt utils mnemonic-keys "test test test test test test test test test test test junk"
This will show the first 10 keys in both C-Chain (Ethereum) format as well as P-Chain (Avalanche) format
