# Notary service in chains
|
|
|
|
[Notary service](https://github.com/neo-project/neo/issues/1573#issuecomment-704874472)
|
|
is a service that provides on-chain network assistance to form multisignature
|
|
transactions. Inner Ring (Alphabet) nodes use multisignature transactions to
|
|
create containers, approve balance changes, update network map, tick epochs,
|
|
etc. With notary service, it takes up to seven times fewer transactions
|
|
to do these operations. Notary service calculates the exact amount of GAS
|
|
to execute transaction, therefore operations are cheaper (withdraw fee **with**
|
|
notary is less than 0.5 GAS; withdraw fee **without** notary is up to 7.0 GAS).
|
|
|
|
By default, main chain service is running without notary service, and side chain
|
|
running with notary service. However, you can change that in configuration.
|
|
|
|
# Disable notary service in side chain
|
|
|
|
To disable notary service in side chain do these steps.
|
|
|
|
1. Update `.env` and choose notary disabled chain dump for side chain.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
MORPH_CHAIN_URL="https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neofs-contract/releases/download/v0.9.0/devenv_sidechain_notary_disabled.gz"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure to update chain dump files with `make get` target.
|
|
|
|
2. Update `service/morph_chain/protocol.privnet.yml` and disable notary settings
|
|
and state root in header.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ProtocolConfiguration:
|
|
StateRootInHeader: false
|
|
P2PSigExtensions: false
|
|
ApplicationConfiguration:
|
|
P2PNotary:
|
|
Enabled: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Chain dump without notary service does not have predefined network map.
|
|
Therefore, you need to wait about 5 minutes until new epoch tick with updated
|
|
network map.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Enable helper commands
|
|
|
|
To enable helper commands such as `make tick.epoch` or `make update.epoch_duration`
|
|
make sure to export non-empty `FROSTFS_NOTARY_DISABLED` environment variable.
|
|
```
|
|
$ export FROSTFS_NOTARY_DISABLED=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `unset` command to return it back.
|
|
```
|
|
$ unset FROSTFS_NOTARY_DISABLED
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Enable notary service in main chain
|
|
|
|
To enable notary service in main chain do these steps.
|
|
|
|
1. Update `.env` and choose notary enabled chain dump for main chain.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CHAIN_URL="https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neofs-contract/releases/download/v0.9.0/devenv_mainchain.gz"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure to update chain dump files with `make get` target.
|
|
|
|
2. Update `service/chain/protocol.privnet.yml` and enable notary settings.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ProtocolConfiguration:
|
|
P2PSigExtensions: true
|
|
ApplicationConfiguration:
|
|
P2PNotary:
|
|
Enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Main chain generates a block once per 15 seconds, so Inner Ring takes about
|
|
15-30 seconds to make a notary deposit in main chain after startup. Then
|
|
frostfs-dev-env is ready to work.
