🖥️Starting a network
To create a new network, visit https://app.lzeroanalytics.com/networks.
Click on "Create a network" and follow the on-screen process to configure the network.
Networks are given a random network name which can be changed to any name with a maximum of 25 characters. Next, you need to create a node configuration to add nodes to the network. A node configuration is a template for nodes which then allows to add an arbitrary number of nodes with custom configurations to the network.
Please see below for the standard node configuration. A configuration name is also automatically generated but can be arbitrarily chosen. Currently, the platform only supports the eu-west-1 region and the standard docker image. Nodes can be configured with up to 8 CPUs, 32 GB of memory, and 200 GB of storage.
Each node automatically creates an account with a starting balance. If the node is a validator, the staking amount needs to be less than the account balance. A network needs at least one validator in order to function properly.
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
Chain ID | The chain ID of the network; Can either be |
Block size (MB) | The size of each block that is produced; A high block size will increase tps but also increase memory usage. |
Faucet amount | The total treasury of the faucet; This should be set to a large number to avoid running out of token supply. |
Transfer amount | The amount of tokens that is transferred on each faucet transfer. |
Maximum gas | The maximum gas that can be consumed within a block. |
Minimum gas price | The lowest fee per unit of computational work (gas) that a user must pay to have their transaction included in a block by the network's validators. |
Transactions spammer | The transaction can simulate transactions in the network. The number specifies the number of transactions per second sent in the network. |
Maximum validator | The number of maximum validators allowed in the network. 64 corresponds to the current mainnet. |
Once you click Done, the network will be created. It will show once it's running or you can click on the network to see the progress in real-time. The logs give insight into the network creation process and show any errors in case something goes wrong.
Once you initiate a network, it will incur costs in your account. Please check the Pricing page for more information.
