Even more local chains

In this tutorial, you will test Hermes against four chains using Gaiad manager gm connected in an arbitrary topology of IBC channels.

Using gm you will start four 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.

Sections

• Start Local Chains

  • Start four local chains with gm and set up Hermes.

• Build the topology

  • Add a relay path between every chain and relay on an arbitrary topology with packet filters.

• Start relaying

  • Exchange and relay packets between these chains.

• Add new instances of Hermes

  • Add new instances of Hermes to start relaying on the paths filtered out by the first instance.
