Ethermint node install

sudo apt install gcc
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/ethermint.git
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/optimint.git
# Edit https://github.com/celestiaorg/optimint/blob/main/block/manager.go#L185 to be `info` not `debug`
cd ethermint && go mod edit -replace=github.com/celestiaorg/optimint=../optimint
make install

Get the Networks info

git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/ethermint-networks.git

Setup the Ethermint node

mkdir .ethermintd/config
cp ~/ethermint-networks/ethermintd/config/config.toml .ethermintd/config 
cp ~/ethermint-networks/ethermintd/config/genesis.json .ethermintd/config

# Edit the .ethermintd/config/config.toml
# Set "aggregator" to "false" (https://github.com/celestiaorg/ethermint-networks/blob/main/ethermintd/config/config.toml#L404)
# Set "seeds" to "12D3KooWFjD8uAvxkY2scSgWN2qKyHHq96xFkJMV1PQmjuQkMD4F@35.208.160.145:26670" (https://github.com/celestiaorg/ethermint-networks/blob/main/ethermintd/config/config.toml#L185)

Start the node

You must allow Ingress to ports 8545 (RPC) and 26670 (P2P)

ethermintd start

The current test deployment gets stuck at

ERR failed to retrieve block from DALC daHeight=49439 errors="failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found; failed to retrieve block: not found" module=BlockManager

The current height of the DA Layer is 51137 at time of writing

This block is missing from my full node

curl localhost:26658/header/49439
"not found"

Something was wrong when syncing the celestia-node full node. Restarting it resolved this.

Attempting to send a metamask transaction using the ethermint full node (non sequencer) results in
