Setting up Network

This section will guide you through setting up your fhevm network using docker.

---

Spin up the network

make run-full

This will start the network and the fhevm-service along with generation of necessary keys.

---

Fund accounts

npm run fund

---

Deploy the essential core contracts

npm run core

Note

On running this command, you will see Error: Gateway contract not found at: <gateway-contract-deployed-address> This is expected and can be ignored.

Once you rerun the same command, this won't happen.

It is a known issue and will be fixed in the future.

---

Stop the network

make stop-full

This will stop the network and all the running containers.

---

What's Next?

Your fhevm-network is now ready to use. Now you can proceed to Compiling and Deploying your smart contracts.
