krest (Canary Network)

krest is peaq's canary network — the world's first and only DePIN simulation network. krest is your home for socio-economic, technical, community, and governance innovation and experimentation within the peaq ecosystem.

Network Endpoints​

You can connect to krest network via WSS or RPC endpoints.

wss://krest.api.onfinality.io/public-ws

wss://krest.unitedbloc.com/

Quickstart​

Web3.js library​

First, copy the public network endpoint from above (you can also use your own endpoint). Next, create a Web3 instance with your endpoint using Web3.js library and configure the provider to connect to krest (both RPC and WSS protocols supported):

const Web3 = require('web3'); // Import Web3 library
.
// Create a local Web3 instance and set peaq as the provider
const web3 = new Web3("RPC-API-ENDPOINT-HERE"); // Replace with your RPC URL

Ethers.js library​

Similar to Web.js instruction above you'll need an endpoint. For the Ethers.js library, define the provider by using ethers.JsonRpcProvider(providerURL) and setting the provider URL to krest:

const ethers = require('ethers'); // Import Ethers.js library

// Define the provider using ethers.JsonRpcProvider(providerURL, {object}) and set the provider URL to peaq
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("RPC-API-ENDPOINT-HERE"); // Replace with your RPC URL

Chain ID​

krest chain ID is 2241, or 0x8c1 in hex.
