Once you’re logged into Alchemy, head to the “Apps” section and look for the option to “Create new app.”When creating a new app in Alchemy, select “Base” as the chain and “Base Mainnet” for the network. Name your app something relevant, like “Ritual,” to easily identify it in your Alchemy dashboard:After creating your app in Alchemy, go to the app’s details, find the “API Key” button, and click it. This action will reveal the HTTPS RPC URL, which you should copy to your clipboard:Lets Update config.jsonnano ~/infernet-container-starter/deploy/config.json Change The rcp_url and private_keyUpdate Makefilenano ~/infernet-container-starter/projects/hello-world/contracts/Makefile change sender's address to your wallet's private key change RPC_URL to the base RPC URL you got from alchemy Save And ExitUpdate Deploy.s.solnano ~/infernet-container-starter/projects/hello-world/contracts/script/Deploy.s.sol change the coordinator address to 0x8D871Ef2826ac9001fB2e33fDD6379b6aaBF449c Save And ExitInitialize The New Configurationdocker restart anvil-node docker restart hello-world docker restart deploy-node-1 docker restart deploy-fluentbit-1 docker restart deploy-redis-1 Check The Log First Get the deploy-node-1 Container ID byPick IDthen replace your id in this codedocker logs <CONTAINER ID> Confirm Information and ContinueInstall Foundry And Dependenciescd mkdir foundry cd foundry curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash source ~/.bashrc foundryup cd ~/infernet-container-starter/projects/hello-world/contracts forge install --no-commit foundry-rs/forge-std forge install --no-commit ritual-net/infernet-sdk cd ../../../ Deploy A Consumer ContractYou Can Write this Code in Your Second Terminal Pagedocker logs -f anvil-node Back To Main Terminal Andcd ~/infernet-container-starter project=hello-world make deploy-contracts You Should See this On your Sec TerminalCall The Contractproject=hello-world make call-contract On-Chain RegistrationTo register and activate your node on the Coordinator contract (0x8d871ef2826ac9001fb2e33fdd6379b6aabf449c) via Basescan, first, make sure you’re using the same Web3 wallet (like MetaMask) connected to your config.json file. For registration, input your wallet’s public address into the “node (address)” field of the “registerNode” function and confirm the transaction. After waiting for 1 hour, proceed to activate your node using the “activateNode” function. This process is important for integrating your node with the network.Total RequestsTo ensure your setup is fully integrated with the Base Mainnet, check your Alchemy or Infura dashboard. Check that your Base application is actively receiving requests, which indicates that your node is properly communicating with the Base network.TransactionsIf the process is successful, you should be able to verify two transactions linked to your wallet on the Basescan explorer: one confirming the registration of your node and the other its activation.Tests — Check The Docker Logsdocker logs <CONTAINER ID> Congratulations!
