💻Sidecar (✔️Oracle)

The validator sidecar service allows validators to vote on oracle data during the CometBFT consensus process

Install the sidecar

# create the necessary directories
mkdir -p $HOME/.zrchain/sidecar/bin
mkdir -p $HOME/.zrchain/sidecar/keys

Install the binary file

wget -O $HOME/.zrchain/sidecar/bin/zenrock-sidecar https://github.com/Zenrock-Foundation/zrchain/releases/download/v5.16.22/validator_sidecar
chmod +x $HOME/.zrchain/sidecar/bin/zenrock-sidecar

Set a password for sidecar wallets

read -p "Enter password for the keys: " key_pass

Copy zenrock-validators

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/zenrocklabs/zenrock-validators

Build BLS binary

cd $HOME/zenrock-validators/utils/keygen/bls/
go mod tidy
go build

Create a BLS key

bls_output_file=$HOME/.zrchain/sidecar/keys/bls.key.json
$HOME/zenrock-validators/utils/keygen/bls/bls --password $key_pass -output-file $bls_output_file

Build ecdsa binary

cd $HOME/zenrock-validators/utils/keygen/ecdsa/
go mod tidy
go build

Create a ecdsa key

ecdsa_output_file=$HOME/.zrchain/sidecar/keys/ecdsa.key.json
ecdsa_creation=$($HOME/zenrock-validators/utils/keygen/ecdsa/ecdsa --password $key_pass -output-file $ecdsa_output_file)
ecdsa_address=$(echo "$ecdsa_creation" | grep "Public address" | cut -d: -f2)

echo "ecdsa address: $ecdsa_address"
#Public address:  0xe766944B5a25B1DE938eF19D15D1F5d3B4fe6E2D

IMPORTANT - to continue you need to register on https://app.infura.io and get the following endpoints:

• mainnet eth: https://xxx

• mainnet eth: wss://xxx

• holesky eth: https://xxx

Create a configuration file config.yaml

Replace the following variables with your values:

• <https://rpc-endpoint-holesky-here>

• <https://rpc-endpoint-mainnet-here>

• zrchain_rpc: ''localhost:HERE_IS_YOUR_GRPC_PORT''
