Quick Start

Prerequisites

Go 1.22+
Node.js 18+
Make (optional)

1. Clone & Build

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/openalpha/perp-dex.git
cd perp-dex

# Build backend
go build -o ./build/perpdexd ./cmd/perpdexd

# Build frontend (optional)
cd frontend && npm install && npm run build

2. Initialize Chain

# Initialize chain with test accounts
./scripts/init-chain.sh

# This creates:
# - Chain ID: perpdex-1
# - Validator with 100,000,000,000 stake + 1,000,000,000,000 usdc
# - 3 markets: BTC-USDC, ETH-USDC, SOL-USDC

3. Apply High-Performance Configuration

# Apply optimized configuration for maximum TPS
./scripts/apply_fast_config.sh

# Configuration applied:
# - Block time: 500ms
# - Mempool: 50,000 transactions
# - IAVL cache: 5M nodes
# - P2P bandwidth: 50MB/s

4. Start Node

# Start the node
./build/perpdexd start --home .perpdex-test --minimum-gas-prices "0usdc"

# Expected output:
# INF committed state height=1
# INF EndBlocker performance matching_ms=0 liquidation_ms=0 funding_ms=0

5. Verify Chain Status

# Check chain status
curl http://localhost:26657/status | jq '.result.sync_info'

# Expected output:
# {
#   "latest_block_height": "100",
#   "catching_up": false
# }
