Become an EVM Transmitter

Transmitters function as lightweight nodes that facilitate message transmission and execution of transactions across connected blockchain networks. They are responsible for signing message requests, ensuring secure and verified communication. Each transmitter operates tethered to a specific blockchain, which allows them to specialize in that network's protocols.

Transmitters can operate across multiple networks but are limited to a single network's parameters at any given time. Their dual role as transmitters and executors enables them to cover processing costs for transactions, enhancing the efficiency of the UIP messaging system.

On the other hand, Super Transmitters provide an additional layer of oversight and security within the UIP framework. Unlike transmitters, super-transmitters do not execute transactions; instead, they oversee the transaction process by confirming or rejecting messages originating from transmitters. This role is crucial for mitigating potential fraudulent activities, as super-transmitters enhance scrutiny and governance without being directly involved in transaction execution. Super-transmitters may include public figures or reputable organizations, adding credibility to the protocol's operations. Their independent function strengthens the overall decentralization and security of the UIP messaging system, ensuring that transactions are thoroughly vetted before proceeding.

Dependencies

Before beginning make sure to install all of the necessary dependencies and tools. In this guide we'll be using several, including:

• , an open source library that allows communication with USB devices fom user space.

• , a modular toolkit for Ethereum application development.

• , a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.

To verify the successful installation of dependencies, you can run the following command.

If everything was successfully installed, the output should be the version of the cast command, as shown below.

1. Registration

Make sure that you have the native network token on Entangle and that you have added the Entangle network address to your wallet.

• Node:

• Chain Id: 33033

Now run the cast command described below to register the transmitter.

You will receive a success message, as described below, if your transmitter is successfully registered.

2. Security Deposit

To ensure your transmitter works as expected you are required to stake a security deposit. A minimum of 100 NTGL is required.

Run the cast command again but this time with the follow parameters.

You will receive a success message, as described below, if you have successfully staked your security deposit.

3. Docker Environment Setup

To simplify this process, we've created a docker image. In this part we will describe how to install and setup docker.

4. Starting the Transmitter

Choosing a Transmitter Name

You can also set a unique name for your agent to more easily distinguish it. Run the below command to do so.

Change Round

To change the round, run the following command.

Changing Blockchain Providers

You can change blockchain providers (RPC nodes) by modifying the source.config.yaml file.

Additional Configuration Parameters

Below are additional configuration parameters you can use for the blockchain provider source configuration file.
