How It Works
The Last Blockchain Application You'll Need
# Deploy ChainLaunch (installs Docker, binary, and starts the server)
curl -fsSL https://chainlaunch.dev/deploy.sh | bash
# Create a Fabric testnet with 2 orgs and 3 orderers
chainlaunch testnet fabric --name chaindemo --org "Org1MSP,Org2MSP" --peerOrgs "Org1MSP,Org2MSP" --ordererOrgs "OrdererOrg" --channels chaindemo --peerCounts "Org1MSP=1,Org2MSP=1" --ordererCounts "OrdererOrg=3"
# Or create a Besu testnet with 4 validators
chainlaunch testnet besu --name mynet --nodes 4 --mode docker
