Local blockchain
To effectively utilize the Vara SDK for Unity, setting up a local blockchain is crucial. This section will guide you through the process of establishing a local blockchain environment, which is essential for testing and development purposes.
A local blockchain provides a controlled, responsive environment crucial for:
- Rapid testing and iteration of your applications.
- Real-time monitoring and interaction with the blockchain.
- Seamless integration with development tools like Polkadot.js.
Install Required Tools:
- Before setting up your local blockchain, ensure that all necessary tools and dependencies are installed.
- Follow the installation guide provided by Substrate: Substrate Installation Guide.
Building the Local Blockchain:
- Once you have the required tools, you can proceed to set up the local blockchain.
- Detailed instructions for this process can be found in Substrate's tutorial: Building a Local Blockchain with Substrate.
Connecting to Your Local Blockchain
After setting up your local blockchain, you can connect to it using the WebSocket URL ws://127.0.0.1:9944. This connection allows your Unity applications to interact with the blockchain, providing a real-time testing and development environment.
Once your local blockchain is up and running, you can start exploring the SDK's features and functionalities with your Unity projects. The SDK is designed to work seamlessly with this setup, allowing for efficient development workflows.
