ICE Network is an EVM compatible network built with Parity’s Substrate framework. ICE is the first network to use the Substrate SDK to extend the feature-set of an existing layer one blockchain protocol. In addition, ICE will provide the much-needed addition of EVM compatibility to the ICON ecosystem

Setup

Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Nightly build and toolchain setup

rustup default stable
rustup update
rustup update nightly
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly

This should be sufficient to get started, refer to Substrate installation guide for more details if needed

Build

Prerequisites (Ubuntu 20.04)

1. rust toolchain with wasm32-unknown-unknown target added
2. build-essential
3. libclang-dev

To build the chain, execute the following commands from the project root:

$ cargo build --release

Start Frost Node (Development)

To execute the chain, run:

$ ./target/release/ice-node --dev --tmp

Note: optional --tmp flag will automatically purge the node DB

This will start a local development ICE node with solo validator and predefined accounts, use Polkadot-JS to explore the network

Use manual seal to produce block manually through RPC

$ ./target/release/ice-node --dev --sealing manual

Start Arctic Collator (Local Relay Chain)

git clone https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot.git -b release-v0.9.19
cd polkadot
cargo build --release
cd -

Install Polkadot-launch

Prerequisites (tested on Ubuntu 20.04)

1. node version 16.2.0
2. yarn (using npm install --global yarn)

yarn global add polkadot-launch

Run Polkadot-launch

cd ./ice-substrate/resources

polkadot-launch arctic-launch.json

It will about 2 minutes to start the relay chain and arctic collator
