Forking the Live Network

The script run-moonbeam-fork.ts has been provided which allows you to fork the live state of the network and run them locally.

Usage

The simplest way to run a forked-network of Moonbeam is by calling:

bun run fork

Which will grab the latest polkadot and moonbeam binaries, grab the latest snapshot of live state, modify some values (such as validator keys, and inject balances), and run it as a new local network. From here you can perform any interaction as if it was the real state, such as runtime upgrades, interactions on deployed contracts, staking operations etc.

If however, you are more interested in intereacting with the contracts in the Moonbeam emulated EVM environment, but not so much parachain staking or XCM, you can run the forked network in development mode. This allows for manual sealing of blocks which dramatically reduces execution times of tests (reduction of 12s blocktime into milliseconds).

bun ./src/tools/run-moonbeam-fork.ts -n moonbeam --dev

Further Examples

Calling the script directly can be done via: bun ./src/tools/run-moonbeam-fork.ts

The minimal command is: bun ./src/tools/run-moonbeam-fork.ts -n moonbeam

By default the polkadot and moonbeam binaries will be downloaded from github if none found in the binaries folder, but if for whatever reason you need to provide your own (e.g. you are on an Apple Silicon chip) use the --polkadot-binary option to provide the path to the binary to use (or copy them into the folder). If doing this option, make sure the correct binary version is supplied via --moonbeam-version and --polkadot-version respectively, otherwise the script will still attempt to download the latest.

ℹ️ When running the node in manual-seal mode, to create a block you can run the following curl command:

curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:9933/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id"     :1,
    "method" :"engine_createBlock",
    "params" :[true,true]
}'

The full list of options can be found in the --help :

Tools

Updating Precompile Code

Each precompile on-chain should contain some dummy code to allow Smart Contracts checking code before calling it to be able to call them.

Verify currently existing precompiles

bun src/tools/list-precompiles.ts --network moonbeam

would output something like: Image of precompiles with their dummy code

To update the dummy code, you can use the PrecompileRegistry with a funded account:

bun src/tools/list-precompiles.ts --network moonbeam --update-dummy-code --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

This will update each missing precompile (or you can use --address 9 to upgrade only contract at address 9)
