Setting up the local chain for development

Usually, We have three choose to run a chain on localhost.

1. HardHat - HardHat Network
2. Truffle - ganahce
3. Foundry - anvil

Generally, we should have chosen anvil. It’s a part of Foundry.
Unfortunately, there were a lot of transitions pending when I used it. From my point of view anvil just is the 0.1.0 version. It will be need more time to develop.
And I want to keep pure in chain end’s project(Not more javascript or npm install).
Finally, we used the ganahce to run chain on localhost.

The ganahce is very easy to install and setting up. It’s a GUI application.

Install ganahce

Open ganahce official website Download it and install it.

Create an new workspace

1. Choose ‘ETHEREUM’ and click the button.

2. Rename the workspace name

We can modify it to any name we like.
Here, I used my ethereum

3. Update the server’s port and network id

The PORT NUMBER is 8545.
The NETWORK ID is 1337.
There are import things. They will match the MetaMask Wallet’s setting.

4. Open Lock Accounts

We don’t like the account always to change.

5. Click SAVE WORKSPACE button

6. Done

Setting up the MetaMask on localhost’s chain

1. Install MetaMask and create one wallet.

https://metamask.io/

2. Open show test networks

Settings > Advanced

Now we can see all test networks

3. Add our localhost chain wallet to MetaMask

Open ganache and copy the private key

Import private key to MetaMask wallet

Now we switch the network to Localhost 8545 and Account 2

We can see

We do it again to add one more account

Try one transition

Finally we already set up the localhost chain environment.

Let’s try one transition

Copy one wallet’s address

Switch other wallet’s account and send eth to the copy address

Wait a few seconds

Check ganache

Awesome, we have our own ethereum!
