How to run a local network

The following documentation describes in detail how to run a local multi-node network for testing purposes using Goloop, the official blockchain architecture implementation of the ICON 2.0 Protocol.

Setting up a multi-node local network requires two general steps:

• Setting up the local network using the gochain-local repository.
• Decentralizing the local network (registering validators, staking and setting up bond for the validators).
• Debugging the local network (checking the status of the network, checking the status of the validators, and checking the status of the transactions).
