Quick Start

Prerequisites

We require recent versions of

• Docker
• Bun
• Foundry

to be installed.

Install dependencies

To install the dependencies, run:

bun install

Local test network

To run a local test network, you need to have Docker installed. You can use the following command to start the network:

docker compose up

This is useful to deploy your dapp locally and test it in a simulated environment.

Running simple end-to-end test

This test makes sure your local inco environment works properly.
You can run the incolite.local.e2e.test.ts and automatically boot the local test network with:

# no need to have docker compose running prior to this command. Have the docker daemon up.
bun test:e2e

This compiles some contracts with Foundry and run a local Inco Lightning environment (runs the docker compose) in the background.

If you have the docker compose already running in the background, you can run the test like so:

cd backend && bun run test:e2e

Testing a Confidential Smart Contract

An example of a simple confidential token using inco is provided in contracts/.
To test run:

bun install
cd contracts
forge test
