Sandwish Contract and Inception Block #39

Closed imcodingideas closed 1 year ago

imcodingideas commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I'm exploring the documentation at this location, specifically focusing on the environment variables under the "Usage" section. There are two values that I need clarification on:

SANDWICH_CONTRACT=0xaAaAaAaaAaAaAaaAaAAAAAAAAaaaAaAaAaaAaaAa
SANDWICH_INCEPTION_BLOCK=...

I need to create and fund a smart contract? Whats an Inception Block? I have some hints here, thanks @Cionn3

  1. I'm looking for guidance on how to generate the FLASHBOTS_AUTH_KEY. Could you provide some information or direct me to resources that explains how to obtain this key?
  2. Finally, I have a question about the Erigon archive node. I began the sync process around two days ago. Is it necessary for me to wait for it to completely synchronize and index before continuing?

Thank you for your experience, and I look forward to your reply. Cheers.

Yes you have to deploy the sandwich contract, INCEPTION_BLOCK is the block number that your contract deployment transaction was in.

The flashbots Auth key is just a private key, doesn't need to be funded, it's just so flashbots can authorize you.

Regarding your erigon node, I'd assume you aren't running a consensus client? If so, check out lighthouse.
