# Dev environment configuration

## Instructions for launching a bridge instance for developers:

1. Install Rust and Docker.
2. Install Solana CLI: <https://docs.solanalabs.com/cli/install>
3. Install Anchor: <https://www.anchor-lang.com/docs/installation> and select version `0.30.1`:

```
avm install 0.30.1
avm use 0.30.1
```

4. Generate a new keypair: `solana-keygen new --no-bip39-passphrase -s -o anchor.json`.
5. Install yarn.
6. Run `yarn` at the project root.
7. Run `anchor test` to test BTC relay program.
8. Run `anchor build && cd block_relayer && cargo test` to start E2E tests of all bridge components.

## Block relayer

The Block Relayer uses a TOML configuration format. On startup, it attempts to open a `config.toml` file in its working directory. For detailed configuration options, refer to the [example configuration file](https://github.com/Yona-Labs/btc-lightclient/blob/main/block_relayer/example.toml).

The Block Relayer is a command-line tool with several subcommands:

```
block-relayer [SUBCOMMAND]
```

Available subcommands:

* `init-deposit`: Initialize a BTC deposit to the Relay program's PDA (currently unimplemented)
* `init-program`: Initialize the BTC relay program on the Yona network
* `relay-blocks`: Start relaying Bitcoin blocks to the Yona network
* `relay-transactions`: Start the transaction relaying service

#### Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   ```
   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/yona-block-relayer.git
   cd yona-block-relayer
   ```
2. Create a `config.toml` file in the project root directory, using the provided [example](https://github.com/Yona-Labs/btc-lightclient/blob/main/block_relayer/example.toml) as a template.
3. Run the desired command:

   ```
   cargo run -- [SUBCOMMAND]
   ```
