setup

A command for creating and configuring a new Dash blockchain node using a main network, test network, or local development setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting a Dash node setup for real-network use, testing, or local development, with optional debug and verbose output.
Why use it?
It avoids manually configuring the node's services and lets you choose settings such as the number of local nodes and block timing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

setup

The setup command initializes a new Dash node with the specified configuration preset.

Usage

dashmate setup [PRESET] [OPTIONS]

Arguments

Argument Description Required Default
preset Node configuration preset (mainnet, testnet, local) No Prompts if not provided

Options

Option Description Default
-d, --debug-logs Enable debug logs false
--no-debug-logs Disable debug logs
-c, --node-count=<number> Number of nodes to setup (for local preset, minimum 3)
-m, --miner-interval=<interval> Interval between blocks (for local preset)
-v, --verbose Use verbose mode for output false

Description

The setup command configures a new Dash node with one of the following presets:

  • mainnet: Run a node connected to the Dash main network
  • testnet: Run a node connected to the Dash test network
  • local: Run a full network environment on your machine for local development

If no preset is specified, the command will prompt you to select one.

For the local preset, you can specify how many nodes to create with the --node-count option. At least 3 nodes are required for proper operation.

The command prevents you from overwriting an existing configuration. If a configuration for the specified preset already exists, the command will suggest using dashmate reset or dashmate group reset to start from scratch.

Examples

# Set up a mainnet node
dashmate setup mainnet

# Set up a testnet node with debug logs enabled
dashmate setup testnet --debug-logs

# Set up a local development environment with 3 nodes
dashmate setup local --node-count=3

# Set up a local environment with custom block mining interval
dashmate setup local --miner-interval=1m

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository dashpay/platform (92 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 520 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
