Configuring Custom Chains
To add or edit a custom chain, use the following command:
zksync-cli config chains
Upon execution, you will be guided through a series of prompts to enter specific details for the custom chain, including:
- Chain ID: The id for the chain.
- Chain Name: A name for the chain.
- Chain key: A unique identifier for the chain.
- RPC URL: The RPC endpoint URL for interacting with the chain.
- Other Information: Depending on the chain's requirements, you may need to provide additional information such as block explorer URLs.
Using Custom Chains
Once a custom chain is configured, you can use it across various zksync-cli
commands.
All of your custom chains will be listed in the chain selection prompt, allowing you to select and use them as needed.
You can also specify a custom chain directly using the --chain
option, for example:
zksync-cli wallet balance --chain <custom-chain-key>
