Peering

To join the network, you'll need to build and install the following geth and prysm forks:

• geth - https://github.com/mdehoog/go-ethereum/tree/eip4844-devnet-1
• prysm - https://github.com/Inphi/prysm/tree/inphi/clean-slate

Both geth and prysm contain preset configuration for the Proto-Danksharding network. Similar to the way geth/prysm can be configured for testnets using --goerli or --ropsten, you can configure both using --eip4844.

Getting Devnet ETH

You can request devnet ETH on the deployed Multifaucet: https://eip4844-faucet.vercel.app/

Uploading Blobs

Blobs can be uploaded by sending blob transactions to geth. blob-utils is a handy script that makes it easy to send blob transactions:

blob-utils tx\
    -rpc-url <your_geth_rpc_url>\
    -blob-file <blob_file>\
    -to <to_address>\
    -value <value>\
    -private-key <account_private_key>

Downloading Blobs

Blobs can be retrieved from the beacon chain network. blob-utils lets you do this easily:

blob-utils download\
    --beacon-p2p-addr <beacon_node_p2p_address>\
    --slot <beacon block slot>

Endpoints

If you don't have a node handy, feel free to use the following addresses to access the devnet.

Execution RPC:

• https://eip-4844.optimism.io

Beacon nodes:

• /ip4/34.123.216.69/tcp/13000/p2p/16Uiu2HAm1u3vdfHLVnHRJtHDxSMYhHgrRVhKxBXLbQ99b4deM8Yq

Troubleshooting/assistance

If you have issues running the devnet, please reach out in the #sharded-data channel of the Eth R&D discord.

When I try to run Prysm on MacOS, I get this error "Caught SIGILL in blst_cgo_init…

This error occurs on Prysm start up (on MacOS 12), and causes the program to exit:

Caught SIGILL in blst_cgo_init, consult <blst>/bindinds/go/README.md. 
exit status 132

Workaround is to run Prysm with environment variables CGO_CFLAGS="-O -D__BLST_PORTABLE__" and CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW="-O -D__BLST_PORTABLE__":

CGO_CFLAGS="-O -D__BLST_PORTABLE__" CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW="-O -D__BLST_PORTABLE__"\
