Connect to local node

Test your contract on a local node before deploying on testnet or mainnet.

To interact with your contract, spin up a CUDOS node with the blast node command.

Use Blast to connect to a new local CUDOS node and view events in the terminal as follows:

Start a local CUDOS node​

To start a new local CUDOS node, run the following command:

blast node start

To run a new local CUDOS node with logging output, run the following command: 

blast node start -l

Example node start (extract)​

blast node start -l
