Deploying your gasstation¶

Here are instructions on how to deploy and run your own gasstation.

Setup¶

checkout the repo then run

npm install

Create a set of keypairs¶

truffle exec ./scripts/mkkp.js

Output

written owner account to /<path>/ethereumgasstation/gasstationowner.json
owner= 0xb985effab2481828ab5d15109b2835ba5e748bfa
written signer account to /<path>/ethereumgasstation/gasstationsigner.json
signer= 0x1028e1276e16012f7afd0b863225e1351fa024d6

This script create two files called gasstationowner.json and gasstationsigner.json in the project folder. keep these files secure and back them up.

Fund the owner key¶

Send around 0.1 ETH to the public key of the owner.

If you’re on Ropsten you can use the faucet available here : http://faucet.ropsten.be/

Deploy your gasstation¶

Deploy your gasstation ( to Ropsten in this case )

truffle --network ropsten migrate --reset

Output

 Replacing GasStation...

 GasStation: 0x8393249596b812af26fa128d15202e4818276403
Saving artifacts

Now the deployed gasstation address is shown (0x8393249596b812af26fa128d15202e4818276403 in this example) - write this down too.

Put some ETH on your accounts¶

Put some ETH on the gasstation contract (ex. 1 ETH - this will be the gas that is sold to your clients).
Put some ETH on the signer address (ex. 0.5 ETH - this account will send the upfront gas & execute the transactions on behalf of the client)

( again if you’re on Ropsten - use the faucet )

Ready to go !¶

Your gasstation contract and accounts are now ready to go.

The blockchain part is done.

Now lease proceed to the https://github.com/EthereumGasStation/ethereumgasstationserver to set up your gasstation server.
