kit chain

short: kit c

kit chain starts a local fakechain with foundry's anvil, e.g.,

kit chain

The default port is 8545 and the chain ID is 31337.

Discussion

kit chain starts an anvil node with the arguments --load-state kinostate.json. This json file includes the KNS & app_store contracts, and is included in the kit binary.

The kinostate.json file can be found written into /tmp/kinode-kit-cache/kinostate-{hash}.json upon running the command.

Note that while the kns_indexer and app_store apps in fake nodes use this chain to index events, any events loaded from a json statefile, aren't replayed upon restarting anvil.
