Appearance

Zcash Warp ​

Build ​

INFO

Skip this section if you have already cloned and built the zcash-warp library and CLI.

$ git clone https://github.com/hhanh00/warp.git
$ cd warp
$ git submodule update --init
$ cargo b -r
$ cd zcash-warp

This builds zcash-warp in ../target/release.

Configuration ​

In the zcash-warp directory, create a App.toml file with the following content:

db_path="zec.db"
lwd_url="http://127.0.0.1:9168"
warp_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000"
warp_end_height=0
confirmations=1
regtest=true
  • lwd_url is the URL to the Lightwalletd server. If you plan to run it on a different machine, change the IP address accordingly.
  • warp_url is the URL of the WARP 2 server. We are not going to use it on this tutorial since we are running on a tiny blockchain. It is fine to leave the URL as it is.
  • A warp_end_height of 0 disables WARP 2.
  • confirmations is set to 1 so that we don't have to wait for more than 1 confirmation before we can spend the funds we receive.
  • Finally, regtest=true enables regtest mode.

TIP

If you set regtest to false, zcash-warp connects to the mainnet chain.

Now, run zcash-warp. If everything is fine, it replies with its command prompt.
