Taproot Assets Workflow

With the developer environment running, you can test Taproot Assets end-to-end.

Mint an Asset


# Mint 1000 units of "Thunderbux"
docker compose exec litd-alice tapcli \
  --tlscertpath=/root/.lit/tls.cert \
  --macaroonpath=/root/.lit/regtest/super.macaroon \
  --rpcserver=localhost:8443 \
  assets mint \
  --type normal \
  --name Thunderbux \
  --supply 1000 \
  --new_grouped_asset
 
# Finalize the mint batch
docker compose exec litd-alice tapcli \
  --tlscertpath=/root/.lit/tls.cert \
  --macaroonpath=/root/.lit/regtest/super.macaroon \
  --rpcserver=localhost:8443 \
  assets mint finalize
 
# Confirm the mint transaction
docker compose exec bitcoind bitcoin-cli \
  -regtest -rpcuser=rpcuser -rpcpassword=rpcpassword \
  generatetoaddress 6 \
  $(docker compose exec litd-alice lncli --network=regtest newaddress p2wkh | jq -r '.address')

Federate Universes

For Bob to receive assets from Alice, both nodes must know about each other’s universe:


# Add Alice's universe to Bob
docker compose exec litd-bob tapcli \
  --tlscertpath=/root/.lit/tls.cert \
  --macaroonpath=/root/.lit/regtest/super.macaroon \
  --rpcserver=localhost:8443 \
  universe federation add \
  --universe_host=litd-alice:8443
 
# Add Bob's universe to Alice
docker compose exec litd-alice tapcli \
  --tlscertpath=/root/.lit/tls.cert \
  --macaroonpath=/root/.lit/regtest/super.macaroon \
  --rpcserver=localhost:8443 \
  universe federation add \
  --universe_host=litd-bob:8443
