polkadot-launch
A deprecated CLI tool for launching local Polkadot test networks with relay chains and parachains.
What is polkadot-launch?
Polkadot Launch was a simple CLI tool for launching local Polkadot test networks. It automated the process of setting up relay chain validators and parachain collators, allowing developers to quickly spin up a multi-chain environment for testing and development. The tool read from a configuration file to define network parameters, node specifications, and genesis state.
Blockchain developers and teams building or testing applications on the Polkadot ecosystem, particularly those working with parachains who need a local sandbox environment.
It saved significant time and effort by automating the manual, error-prone steps of configuring and connecting multiple blockchain nodes, providing a reproducible way to create custom test networks. Its straightforward configuration and integration with Polkadot JS made it a practical tool for rapid prototyping.
