Welcome to the Dymension Hub, the Settlement Layer of the Dymension protocol.

This guide will walk you through the steps required to set up and run a Dymension Hub full node.

• Dymension Hub
  • Overview
  • Table of Contents
  • Prerequisites
  • Installation
  • Initializing dymd
  • Running the Chain
  • Bootstrapping liquidity pools
  • Adding incentives
    • Creating incentives streams
    • Locking tokens
    • Checking rewards
    • Updating a community-driven distribution
  • Debugging Container
  • Developer
    • Setup push hooks

• Go (v1.18 or above)

Clone dymension:

git clone https://github.com/dymensionxyz/dymension.git
cd dymension
make install

Check that the dymd binaries have been successfully installed:

dymd version

If the dymd command is not found an error message is returned, confirm that your GOPATH is correctly configured by running the following command:

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

• Using the setup script:

  This method is preferred as it is preconfigured to support running rollapps locally

  bash scripts/setup_local.sh

• Manually:

  First, set the following environment variables:

  export CHAIN_ID="dymension_100-1"
  export KEY_NAME="hub-user"
  export MONIKER_NAME="local"

  Second, create genesis and init dymension chain:

  dymd init "$MONIKER_NAME" --chain-id "$CHAIN_ID"

  Third, set parameters to ensure denom is udym:

  bash scripts/set_params.sh

  Then, add genesis account and provide token to the account:

  dymd keys add "$KEY_NAME" --keyring-backend test
  dymd add-genesis-account "$(dymd keys show "$KEY_NAME" -a --keyring-backend test)" 1000dym
  dymd gentx "$KEY_NAME" 670dym --chain-id "$CHAIN_ID" --keyring-backend test
  dymd collect-gentxs

Now start the chain!

dymd start

You should have a running local node!

To bootstrap the GAMM module with pools:

sh scripts/pools/pools_bootstrap.sh

After creating the pools above, we create 3 incentive streams through gov:

sh scripts/incentives/fund_incentives.sh

Wait for the gov proposal to pass, and validate with:

dymd q streamer streams

The last stream is community-driven and governed by x/sponsorship.

To get incentives, we need to lock the LP tokens:

sh scripts/incentives/lockup_bootstrap.sh

validate with:

dymd q lockup module-balance

Every minute a share of the rewards will be distributed!

validate with:

dymd q incentives active-gauges

# alternatively, watch the output - you will see the "amount" change every minute
#  watch -n1 -d "dymd q incentives active-gauges --output json | jq '.data[] | { "id": .id, "coins": .coins } '"

The following script casts two votes for a community-driven distribution.

sh scripts/incentives/sponsorship_vote.sh

This will change the corresponding stream distribution at the end of the current epoch.

dymd q streamer streams

The community-driven distribution may be queried with:

dymd q sponsorship distribution

Pre-requisite: Install Docker Install VSCode Install VSCode Go extension Install Delve

To debug, you can use the following command to run the debug container:

make docker-run-debug

Then you can run the debugger with the following config for launch.json in VSCode:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Dymension Debug Container",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "attach",
            "mode": "remote",
            "port": 4000,
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "debugAdapter": "legacy" // To be removed in the future after https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/3096 is fixed
        }
    ]
}

After that, you can run the debugger and set breakpoints in the code.

Example:

Add breakpoint to ctx in x/eibc/keeper/grpc_query.go :

func (q Querier) Params(goCtx context.Context, req *types.QueryParamsRequest) (*types.QueryParamsResponse, error) {
	if req == nil {
		return nil, status.Error(codes.InvalidArgument, "invalid request")
	}
	ctx := sdk.UnwrapSDKContext(goCtx)

	return &types.QueryParamsResponse{Params: q.GetParams(ctx)}, nil
}

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:1318/dymensionxyz/dymension/eibc/params and you will see debugger stop and print the value at the breakpoint.

To setup push hooks, run the following command:
