Usage

Using the Testnet RPC option for Solflare is recommended. This will cause Solflare to route transactions through Testnet nodes, so if an API changes unexpectedly, real transactions won't be routed to Mainnet-Beta. Testnet also disables some features, which is what we want since Sunspot can't support everything (yet)!

sunspot --help

sunspot -k ./certs/sunspot.key -c ./certs/sunspot.pem http://localhost:8899

Using a Custom Token List File

Sunspot allows you to provide a custom token-list JSON file, which is used to add custom names, symbols, and imageURIs to tokens in both the wallet view and during simulations.

{
  "<Token Mint String>": {
    "name": "<Token Name>",
    "symbol": "<Token Symbol>",
    "imageUri": "<Token Image URI>"
  },
  // USD Coin Example
  "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v": {
    "name": "USD Coin",
    "symbol": "USDC",
    "imageUri": "https://assets.coingecko.com/coins/images/6319/large/USD_Coin_icon.png?1547042389"
  }
}

You can pass this file to Sunspot using the --token-list (-t) flag.

sunspot -k ./certs/sunspot.key -c ./certs/sunspot.pem -t ./tokens.json http://localhost:8899
