Local chains

In this tutorial, you will test Hermes against two chains using Gaiad manager gm. This is the easiest way to get started.

Using gm you will start two gaia chains that support the IBC protocol.

Make sure that you followed the steps in the Prerequisites for local chains section before moving to the next section.
