📄️ Intro to Development
The purpose of the Build section of the Hydration documentation is to share technical knowledge with the community and to empower individual contributions. Hydration is a community-driven project which invests heavily in incentivizing community involvement, and we especially appreciate technical contributions!
📄️ Set up a Development Chain
This section runs you through the process of setting up a local Hydration chain instance for development.
📄️ Set up a Collator Node
This is a step-by-step how-to so you can get your Hydration collator up and running. In this guide, we use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
📄️ Performance Benchmark
You can make sure that your machine satisfies the required technical specifications by running a performance benchmark. To do so, follow the steps below:
📄️ Node Monitoring
In this chapter we will walk you through the setup of local monitoring for your validator node.
📄️ Connect to a Local Node
You can use the Polkadot/apps to connect to your local Hydration node. For this purpose, you need to have access to port 9944 which is used for RPC websocket connections.
📄️ Connect to a Public Node
There are two public RPC nodes which are maintained by Hydration and our partners. You can use these nodes for interacting with Snakenet. You can directly connect to a public node with Polkadot/apps by clicking on the link below:
📄️ Design and Automation of our Tesnet Deployment at Hydration
In this article, we are going to show you how we designed and automated our pipeline to be able to deploy a new testnet (Parachain + Relaychain) within minutes using Kubernetes (EKS Fargate), AWS ACM, Route53, Terraform and Github Actions.
