Create a New Simulation
This step-by-step tutorial will help you navigate through the cHaOsNeT UI and set up a simulation to test your smart contracts in cHaOSneT’s forked EVM blockchain environment.
Index
When you first access cHaOsNeT via https://chaos.apeworx.io, you’ll be presented with two main options:
View Current Deployments: This button allows you to see Simulations you have access to that are currently running.
Create New Deployment: Click this button to set up a new simulation.
Step 1: Select an Ecosystem
After clicking “Create New Deployment,” you’ll be taken to the ecosystem selection screen.
Understanding Ecosystems
Choose the blockchain network you want to simulate by selecting an ecosystem. This choice determines the base network for your forked simulation.
Step 2: Modify Ecosystem
The next screen allows you to configure the rules for your blockchain fork.
Configuring Simulation Rules
Set up the parameters that will govern how bots interact within your simulation.
Period
Current: Fork based on the blockchain’s current state.
Historical: (Coming Soon) Simulate contracts during real-life past events where exceptional behavior occurred.
Block Time
Frequency of Interaction: Set how fast the Simulation will operate relative to the real block of time of the network.
Step 3: Select Protocol and Bots
On the following screen, you’ll choose the protocols and bots for your simulation. Each bot will interact with its related protocol(s) every block.
Step 4: Review and Payment
Finally, you’ll reach a screen where you can review your configurations.
Validation and Confirmation
Check all the settings of your simulation to ensure they are correct.
You can go back and edit configurations if necessary.
Proceed to Payment
Once you’re satisfied with the setup, proceed through the payments precedure to launch your Simulation.
