Quick start

  1. Build: cargo build --release
  2. Run a single node (validator): ./target/release/boing-node --validator --rpc-port 8545
  3. Or join the public testnet: --p2p-listen /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001 --bootnodes <BOOTNODE_LIST> (see endpoints below)
  4. Get testnet BOING from the faucet.

Single node vs multi-node

Brief summary. For the full guide, see Single node vs multi-node.

  • Single node — Run without P2P. Good for local dev. No bootnodes needed.
  • Multi-node testnet — Run with --p2p-listen and --bootnodes to join the public testnet.

Bootnodes: use with --bootnodes (comma-separated)

Native AMM pool (chain 6913)

The hosted Fly testnet at https://testnet-rpc.boing.network/ has not published a canonical native AMM pool yet. Read boing_getNetworkInfo.end_user.canonical_native_cp_pool on that RPC (currently null). After ops runs npm run deploy-native-dex-full-stack and sets BOING_CANONICAL_NATIVE_* on the nodes, this page will show the live pool id. Spec: RPC-API-SPEC· FLY-IO.md.

Native LP vault & share token (chain 6913)

LP vault and share-token ids will appear here when the hosted testnet publishesend_user.canonical_native_amm_lp_vault / canonical_native_lp_share_token.

Bootnodes

Bootnodes are stable peer addresses your node dials to join the testnet. Full details: Bootnodes.

Faucet

Get testnet BOING for gas and staking on the dedicated faucet page.

Go to Faucet →

One-click mining (VibeMiner)

Prefer a desktop UI? VibeMiner offers one-click mining/validating for Boing. SeeVIBEMINER-INTEGRATION (PDF). The live app reads /api/networks (JSON): boing-devnet (Windows), boing-devnet-linux, and boing-devnet-macos — each includes platform, download URL, and command template.
