Script Overview
This script automates the setup and initialization of your Primev node, catering to both bidder and provider roles. Below is a detailed breakdown of the script’s operations:1. Initialization
- Sets up essential variables like the RPC URL (
https://chainrpc.testnet.mev-commit.xyz) for network communication and the node type (eitherbidderorprovider`). - Establishes the root directory (
$HOME/.mev-commit) where the mev-commit node will be installed.
2. Download
- Fetches the appropriate mev-commit binary for your system from the Primev GitHub releases page, considering your operating system and architecture.
3. Installation
- Extracts the downloaded binary into the specified root directory, ensuring all necessary executables are correctly placed for the node’s operation.
4. Configuration
- Initializes the mev-commit node with your specified settings, including the node type and the RPC endpoint, along with necessary contract addresses for the node’s functionality.
5. Wallet Setup
- Generates a new private key and wallet address for your node and secures it with test ether to facilitate transactions within the testnet environment.
6. Node Startup
- Launches the mev-commit node in the background tailored to the specified role, enabling it to begin its operations within the Primev network.
7. Cleanup
- Includes a cleanup function to ensure the node is properly shut down when the script exits, preventing any residual processes.
