Quickstart Your mev-commit Node

Step into the Primev ecosystem with ease. This guide covers everything you need to set up your mev-commit node, whether you’re aiming to be a bidder or a provider.

Quickstart

Ready to get your node up and running? This streamlined process will guide you through launching either a bidder or provider node on the mev-commit network.

1. 📥 Download

   Start by downloading the latest setup script from our repository.

   ❯_ terminal

   curl -o launchmevcommit \
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/primevprotocol/scripts/main/launchmevcommit
   
2. 🛠️ Permission

   Ensure the script is executable with the following command:

   ❯_ terminal

   chmod +x launchmevcommit
   
3. 🚀 Launch

   Execute the script to initiate your node, selecting either a bidder or provider configuration based on your role in the network.

   ❯_ bidder

   ./launchmevcommit --node-type bidder
   

   You need to make sure that the peer-to-peer port 13522 on your local machine is accessible through a public IP address. This setup enables the provider node to initiate incoming connections to your node.

🤔 What does the script do?

Script Overview

This script automates the setup and initialization of your Primev node, catering to both bidder and provider roles. Below is a detailed breakdown of the script’s operations:

1. Initialization

• Sets up essential variables like the RPC URL (https://chainrpc.testnet.mev-commit.xyz) for network communication and the node type (either bidderorprovider`).
• Establishes the root directory ($HOME/.mev-commit) where the mev-commit node will be installed.

2. Download

• Fetches the appropriate mev-commit binary for your system from the Primev GitHub releases page, considering your operating system and architecture.

3. Installation

• Extracts the downloaded binary into the specified root directory, ensuring all necessary executables are correctly placed for the node’s operation.

4. Configuration

• Initializes the mev-commit node with your specified settings, including the node type and the RPC endpoint, along with necessary contract addresses for the node’s functionality.

5. Wallet Setup

• Generates a new private key and wallet address for your node and secures it with test ether to facilitate transactions within the testnet environment.

6. Node Startup

• Launches the mev-commit node in the background tailored to the specified role, enabling it to begin its operations within the Primev network.

7. Cleanup

• Includes a cleanup function to ensure the node is properly shut down when the script exits, preventing any residual processes.
