How to access the dev network to debug local applications?#

Step 1: Connect to the DevNet via RPC address#

https://devnet2openapi.platon.network/rpc or wss://devnet2openapi.platon.network/ws

Access method 1: Connect to the DevNet via the local PlatON node#

on the ubuntu 18.04 server, download and install the PlatON binary with the following command:

sudo wget https://download.platon.network/platon/platon/1.4.2/platon -P /usr/bin

Connect to the development network by.

platon attach https://devnet2openapi.platon.network/rpc

Access method 2: Connect to the PlatON DevNet through the SDKs#

  • Use the Java SDK to connect to the DevNet, for example, as follows.
Web3j platonWeb3j = Web3j.build(new HttpService("https://devnet2openapi.platon.network/rpc"));
  • Use Python SDK to access the DevNet, the example is as follows.
w3 = Web3(HTTPProvider("https://devnet2openapi.platon.network/rpc"))
  • Use JS SDK to access the DevNet, the example is as follows.
var Web3 = require('web3');var web3 = new Web3('http://https://devnet2openapi.platon.network/rpc');
  • Using JSON RPC to access the DevNet, the example is as follows.
curl -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "web3_clientVersion", "params":[], "id":67}' https://devnet2openapi.platon.network/rpc

Not limited to the above language SDKs, you also have access through SDKs in other languages.

Step 2: Apply for DevNet Test Token#

Click faucet to receive the Test Token. If you have a large Test Token request, please send an email to support@latticex.foundation using the following format.
