Discovery manifest#

When booting a new node, it's required to give the node some hints how to discover the network. It needs at least a single witness to start discovery.

When you use any of the clients, by default they will discover the requested network by querying for a manifest.
The Attrace Project, hosts an up-to-date witness manifest for every network. It refreshes every 15 minutes.

This is the url pattern for the manifest:

https://discovery.attrace.network/{{ network }}/manifest.json

Example:

curl -s https://discovery.attrace.network/betanet/manifest.json | jq
{
  "SnapshotTime": 1578953766399,
  "Witnesses": [
    {
      "Address": "ABHHCJYIAPY323PLPEJYLA2E6XH242AJ25FYYJPST3ANCCQ2FB7AVEA5",
      "ApiPort": 0,
      "Host": "node-sgiylh03.betanet.attrace.com",
      "Port": 443,
      "Signature": "ZVBJ2mo797W9xcfNPLNJ/3nctVJ6jzwYShluBWTW0H7CN8NKxSNuxb7mlhJyeSgsCqXZkbz523cEqpuUQvD7CA==",
      "Time": 1578953673105
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Custom manifest#

If you prefer your run your own public node, or want to use a custom manifest, you can always pass in --discovery-manifest=URL on all executables.

Every public node exposes the manifest on GET /api/v1/manifests/network.

Example request:

curl 'https://YOURNODE/api/v1/manifests/network' | jq

Custom seeds#

If you don't want to use a manifest, you can also use --seeds=host:port,,... to discover from specific hosts.
