POP

Your one-stop entry into the exciting world of Blockchain development with Polkadot

Getting Started

Use pop to either clone of your existing templates or instantiate a new parachain template:

# Create a minimal parachain template
pop create my-app
# Get the extended-parachain-template
pop create my-app ept
# Get a pallet-contracts enabled template
pop create my-app cpt
# Get a evm compatible parachain template
pop create my-app fpt

You can also customize a template by providing config options for token symbol (as it appears on polkadot-js apps UI), token decimals, and the initial endowment for substrate developer accounts. Here's how:

# Create a minimal parachain template with "DOT" as token symbol, 6 token decimals and 1 billion tokens per dev account
pop create my-app --symbol DOT --decimals 6 --endowment 1_000_000_000

There's also the shorter version:

pop create my-app -s DOT -d 6 -i 1_000_000_000

To create a new pallet, simply pop pallet. And that's it. You will have a new pallet-template ready for hacking. To customize the new pallet you can follow these options:

# create a pallet with name `pallet-awesome` in the current working directory
pop pallet pallet-awesome
# or with options
pop pallet pallet-awesome --authors Me --description "This pallet oozes awesomeness" --path my_app/pallets

Finally, you would need to build and run it.
