start
The start
command starts the Kit client and connects it to the network. It learns about the network and finds other peers by connecting to a set of embedded seed nodes in the client.
The seed nodes shares the addresses of other peers on the network and quickly disconnects. With the addresses received, the node improves its connection to the network by connecting to more peers.
Usage
Options
Node
--node.address
- The address the node will bind and listen to for incoming connections.--node.addpeer
- Provide a comma-separated list of node addresses to connect to.--node.exts

- The RPC user to use for basic authorization.--rpc.password
- The RPC password to use for basic authorization.--rpc.tmaddress
- The address where the Tendermint RPC server listens for incoming RPC requests coming from Kit.
DHT
--dht.on
- Starts the DHT server. It will connect to the DHT seed nodes embedded into the client.--dht.address
- Set the address where the DHT will bind to and listen for incoming connections.--dht.addpeer
- Provide a comma-separated list of DHT node address to connect to.
