Create Parachain

Obtain WebAssembly code for Basic Adder Example by rphmeier:

Download from https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/blob/4af260fea194d807a48f63dbd4b4595d4be91744/polkadot/parachain/tests/res/adder.wasm (possibly outdated)

or look in the polkadot/parachain/tests/res/ folder on master.

Run the adder-collator binary with arguments to connect it to validators in the network, which also runs the relay chain. It will help if you have validators' node IDs to connect to.

cargo run -p adder-collator -- ARGS_GO_HERE

Deploy Parachain

Start Referendum

Go to https://poc-2.polkadot.io/#/extrinsics

Select Account to deploy it

Either:

democracy > propose(proposal, value) > democracy > startReferendum(proposal, voteThreshold) > parachains > registerParachain(id, code, headerData), drag-and-drop / upload the compiled WASM binary from Rob or Adrian to Parachain Code, enter headData, Super majority approval, balance/deposit: 100,000

OR

democracy > propose(proposal, value) > parachains > registerParachain(id, code, headerData), drag-and-drop / upload the compiled WASM binary from Rob or Adrian to Parachain Code, enter headData, ...

Note: View Minimum Deposit that's required at https://poc-2.polkadot.io/#/storage > democracy > minimumDeposit() > click "+"

NOTE: Remember the REFERENDUM_ID

Wait until REFERENDUM_ID is a Proposed Referendum (aka Proposed Referenda)

Confirmation that Parachain Successfully Deployed

View Polkadot Node logs until it says Super majority approval Send transaction and query the Parachain Basic Adder (Test) Parachain is too simple for transactions to be executed against it, as it's a minimal test parachain for adding a number. References:

Above summary has been built by @luke based on notes I've taken by following comments made by @rphmeier, @jaco, @adrianbrink in #polkadot-watercooler
