Getting started

You need the thrylos command, built from the repository:

cargo build --release --bin thrylos

Then make a wallet and get some test THRY:

thrylos setup                                  # makes ~/.thrylos/wallet.key

Ask /faucet in the Discord with the address it prints. Publishing and calling a package cost a fraction of a THRY — see What it costs.

Point the command at the public testnet once:

thrylos network add testnet https://rpc.thrylos.org
thrylos network use testnet

Then:

thrylos move new hello        # a package with one module and two tests
thrylos move test hello       # run its tests
thrylos move publish hello    # publish it (builds first if needed); prints the package address
thrylos move call <address> hello check u64:4 u64:6

That’s the whole loop. Writing Move on Thrylos covers packages, storage, gas and what’s refused and why. Two working examples — a token and a guestbook — are in Examples.

Try it on your own machine first

A local, one-validator network is the quickest way to try everything, with no faucet needed:

cargo build --bin chain-node --bin chain-signer --bin thrylos
chain-node devnet init /tmp/net --validators 1
chain-node devnet start /tmp/net           # leave it running
thrylos setup --wallet /tmp/me.key
chain-node devnet fund /tmp/net "$(thrylos address --wallet /tmp/me.key)" --node 1 --account 1 --amount 50
thrylos network add local 127.0.0.1:26657 && thrylos network use local

Then use thrylos move ... --wallet /tmp/me.key as above. A generated local network is deliberately insecure (its keys are public), and — unlike the public testnet right now — it turns on simulate, so thrylos move view works there. See Reading what is stored.
