Base Parachain Template

This template is used to generate parachains using Pop CLI - an all-in-one tool for Polkadot development.

It is based on the Polkadot SDK and is updated by R0GUE after releases in the main Polkadot SDK monorepo.

• ⏫ This template provides a starting point to build a parachain.

• ☁️ It is based on the Cumulus framework.

• 🔧 Its runtime is configured with a single custom pallet as a starting point, and a handful of ready-made pallets such as a Balances pallet.

Template Structure

A Polkadot SDK based project such as this one consists of:

• 🧮 Runtime - the core logic of the parachain.

Getting Started

Install Pop CLI - the all-in-one Polkadot development tool:

Detailed installation instructions can be found here.

cargo install --force --locked pop-cli

Start a new parachain project with this template:

pop new parachain

Learn how to run your parachain using the pop up command:

# Generate the chain spec
pop build spec            \
--profile release         \
--id 2000                 \
--type local              \
--relay paseo-local       \
--protocol-id custom      \
--chain local_testnet     \
--default-bootnode=false  \
--genesis-code=false      \
--genesis-state=false     \
--deterministic=false     \
--output ./target/release/chain-spec.json
pop up ./network.toml
