The Namada Ledger

To start a local Namada ledger node, run:

namada ledger

Note that you need to have joined a network before you start the ledger. It throws an error if no network has been configured.

The node will attempt to connect to the persistent validator nodes and other peers in the network, and synchronize to the latest block.

By default, the ledger will store its configuration and state in the .anoma directory relative to the current working directory. You can use the --base-dir CLI global argument or ANOMA_BASE_DIR environment variable to change it.

The ledger also needs access to the built WASM files that are used in the genesis block. These files are included in release and shouldn't be modified, otherwise your node will fail with a consensus error on the genesis block. By default, these are expected to be in the wasm directory, relative to the current working directory. This can also be set with the --wasm-dir CLI global argument, ANOMA_WASM_DIR environment variable or the configuration file.

The ledger configuration is stored in .anoma/{chain_id}/config.toml (with default --base-dir). It is created when you join the network. You can modify that file to change the configuration of your node. All values can also be set via environment variables. Names of the recognized environment variables are derived from the configuration keys by: uppercase every letter of the key, insert . or __ for each nested value and prepend ANOMA_. For example, option p2p_pex in [ledger.tendermint] can be set by ANOMA_LEDGER__TENDERMINT__P2P_PEX=true|false or ANOMA_LEDGER.TENDERMINT.P2P_PEX=true|false in the environment (Note: only the double underscore form can be used in Bash, because Bash doesn't allow dots in environment variable names).
