Creating an L1
Learn how to create an L1 blockchain in the Avalanche network using the Builder Tooling.
Now that we've gone over what Avalanche L1s are, you are probably eager to test out the functionality of Avalanche L1s by creating one yourself! In this section, you will learn how to create an L1 blockchain using the the Avalanche Builder Tooling.
For production deployments you can leverage a Blockchain-as-a-Service Provider to oursurce the setup and maintenance of the L1 infrastructure..
What You Will Learn
In this section, you will go through the following steps:
Claim Testnet AVAX Tokens
In the first step we will show you how to set up the Core wallet chrome extension. After, we will show how to claim some testnet AVAX tokens from the faucet. Finally, you will learn how to bridge the tokens from the C-Chain to the P-Chain.
Create the P-Chain records for the a Subnet and blockchain
Here we will show you how to create the P-Chain records for the Subnet and the blockchain. You will
issue a CreateSubnetTx transaction on the P-Chain to create a Subnet record. Then you will add a belockchain to
the Subnet by issuing a CreateChainTx transaction on the P-Chain.
Set up a node to track the Subnet
In this step you will learn how to set up a node to track the Subnet. We will leverage Docker to set up a node on a cloud server. When the node is up and running, you will connect your wallet to it.
Convert to an L1
To finish the process, you will convert the Subnet to an L1. This is done by issuing a
ConvertSubnetToL1Tx transaction on the P-Chain. This will turn your node into an actual validator
for the L1.
Test the L1
In the final step, you will deploy a ERC-20 token on the L1 you had launched.
