Trap Setup

1. Configure Enviorments

Drosera CLI:

curl -L https://app.drosera.io/install | bash
source /root/.bashrc
droseraup

Foundry CLI:

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
source /root/.bashrc
foundryup

Bun:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
source /root/.bashrc

---

2. Deploy Contract & Trap

mkdir my-drosera-trap
cd my-drosera-trap

Replace Github_Email & Github_Username:

git config --global user.email "Github_Email"
git config --global user.name "Github_Username"

Initialize Trap:

forge init -t drosera-network/trap-foundry-template

Compile Trap:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
source /root/.bashrc
bun install
forge build

If you get a Warning message, just ignore it.

Deploy Trap:

DROSERA_PRIVATE_KEY=xxx drosera apply --eth-rpc-url your-rpc

• Replace xxx with your EVM wallet privatekey (Ensure it's funded with Holesky ETH)

• Replace your-rpc with your Holesky ETH RPC, you can get it from Alchemy for free
• Enter the command, when prompted, write ofc and press Enter.

If you don't see your trap's address as address = "0x..." line, Then follow the steps:

• Connect to the Dashboard using same account you used to deploy your trap:
• Select the “Traps Owned” button to display only traps that your account owns

• On the trap’s page, click on the “Trap Config” address hyperlink. This will open a page to holesky etherscan.

• Click the button to copy the contract’s address

Add your trap address to drosera.toml file, by adding this line: address = "TRAP_ADDRESS" in the bottom.

whitelist = ["Operator1_Address/Your-Wallet-Address"]
address = "TRAP_ADDRESS"

Re-apply your trap configuration

DROSERA_PRIVATE_KEY=xxx drosera apply --eth-rpc-url your-rpc

3. Check Trap in Dashboard

• Connect your Drosera EVM wallet: https://app.drosera.io/
• Click on Traps Owned to see your deployed Traps OR search your Trap address.

4. Bloom Boost Trap

• Open your Trap on Dashboard and Click on Send Bloom Boost and deposit some Holesky ETH on it.

5. Fetch Blocks

Edit Trap configuration

cd my-drosera-trap
nano drosera.toml

Add the following codes at the bottom of drosera.toml

private_trap = true
whitelist = ["Operator1_Address/Your-Wallet-Address"]

• Replace Operator_Address with your EVM wallet Public Address

• Your Public Address is your Operator_Address.

Update Trap Configuration

DROSERA_PRIVATE_KEY=xxx drosera apply --eth-rpc-url your-rpc
