Bridging content into the Portal beacon network#
Seeding from content bridges#
Run a Nimbus Portal client with the JSON-RPC API enabled.
Build & run the nimbus_portal_bridge for the beacon network:
make nimbus_portal_bridge
TRUSTED_BLOCK_ROOT=0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 # Replace with trusted block root.
# --rest-url = access to beacon node API, default http://127.0.0.1:5052
# --portal-rpc=url = access to the Portal node API, default http://127.0.0.1:8545
./build/nimbus_portal_bridge beacon --trusted-block-root:${TRUSTED_BLOCK_ROOT} --rest-url:http://127.0.0.1:5052 --portal-rpc-url:http://127.0.0.1:8545
The nimbus_portal_bridge will connect to Nimbus Portal client over the JSON-RPC
interface and start gossiping an LightClientBootstrap for
given trusted block root and gossip backfill LightClientUpdates.
Next, it will gossip a new LightClientOptimisticUpdate,
LightClientFinalityUpdate and LightClientUpdate as they become available.
