A Swiss Army knife of blockchain tools

Polycli

We run a lot of different blockchain technologies. Different tools often have inconsistent tooling and this makes automation and operations painful. The goal of this codebase is to standardize some of our commonly needed tools and provide interfaces and formats.

Install

Requirements:

• Go
• make
• jq
• bc
• protoc (Only required for make generate)

To install, clone this repo and run:

$ make install

By default, the commands will be in $HOME/go/bin/, so for ease, we recommend adding that path to your shell's startup file by adding the following line:

export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"

Features

Note: Do not modify this section! It is auto-generated by cobra using make gen-doc.

• polycli abi - Parse an ABI and print the encoded signatures.

• polycli dbbench - Perform a level/pebble db benchmark

• polycli dumpblocks - Export a range of blocks from a JSON-RPC endpoint.

• polycli enr - Convert between ENR and Enode format

• polycli fork - Take a forked block and walk up the chain to do analysis.

• polycli fund - Bulk fund crypto wallets automatically.

• polycli hash - Provide common crypto hashing functions.

• polycli loadtest - Run a generic load test against an Eth/EVM style JSON-RPC endpoint.

• polycli metrics-to-dash - Create a dashboard from an Openmetrics / Prometheus response.

• polycli mnemonic - Generate a BIP39 mnemonic seed.

• polycli monitor - Monitor blocks using a JSON-RPC endpoint.

• polycli nodekey - Generate node keys for different blockchain clients and protocols.

• polycli p2p - Set of commands related to devp2p.

• polycli parseethwallet - Extract the private key from an eth wallet.

• polycli rpc - Wrapper for making RPC requests.

• polycli rpcfuzz - Continually run a variety of RPC calls and fuzzers.

• polycli version - Get the current version of this application

• polycli wallet - Create or inspect BIP39(ish) wallets.

Testing

To test the features of polycli, we'll run geth in dev mode but you can run any node you want.

$ make geth
INFO [07-10|10:43:12.499] Starting Geth in ephemeral dev mode...
...

You can then fund the default load testing account and run some tests.

$ make geth-loadtest
10:57AM INF Starting Load Test
10:57AM INF Connecting with RPC endpoint to initialize load test parameters
...

You can view the state of the chain using polycli.

$ polycli monitor --rpc-url http://127.0.0.1:8545

You can also interact manually with your node, you can attach a Javascript console to your node using IPC.

First, wait for the IPC endpoint to open.

INFO [07-10|10:44:29.250] Starting peer-to-peer node               instance=Geth/v1.12.0-stable/darwin-amd64/go1.20.4

Then, attach a console to your node.

$ geth attach /var/folders/7m/3_x4ns7557x52hb6vncqkx8h0000gn/T/geth.ipc
Welcome to the Geth JavaScript console!

instance: Geth/v1.12.0-stable/darwin-amd64/go1.20.4

To exit, press ctrl-d or type exit

From there, you can do anything such as funding the default load testing account with some currency.

> eth.coinbase==eth.accounts[0]
true

> eth.sendTransaction({from: eth.coinbase, to: "0x85da99c8a7c2c95964c8efd687e95e632fc533d6", value: web3.toWei(5000, "ether")})
"0xd8223589989d198741e0543ab01d9d3ce2b81e38927cb213a56589e111dfd388"

You can then generate some load to make sure that blocks with transactions are being created. Note that the chain id of local geth is 1337.

$ polycli loadtest --verbosity 700 --chain-id 1337 --concurrency 1 --requests 1000 --rate-limit 5 --mode c --rpc-url http://127.0.0.1:8545

Monitor Debug

polycli monitor --rpc-url http://34.117.145.249:80 -v 700 &> log.txt

Contributing

• If you add a new loadtest mode, don't forget to update the loadtest mode string by running the following command: cd cmd/loadtest && stringer -type=loadTestMode. You can install stringer with go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer@latest.

Reference

Sending some value to the default load testing account.

Listening for re-orgs.
