Scaffold the scavenge chain

Scaffold a new Cosmos SDK blockchain using the ignite scaffold chain command.

By default a chain is scaffolded with a new empty Cosmos SDK module. Use the --no-module flag to skip module scaffolding.

ignite scaffold chain scavenge --no-module

This command creates a new scavenge directory with a brand new Cosmos SDK blockchain. This blockchain doesn't have any application-specific logic yet, but it imports standard Cosmos SDK modules, such as auth, bank, mint, and others.

Change the current directory to scavenge:

cd scavenge

Inside the project directory, you can execute other Ignite CLI commands to start a blockchain node, scaffold modules, messages, types, generate code, and much more.

In a Cosmos SDK blockchain, implement application-specific logic in separate modules. Using modules keeps code easy to understand and reuse.

Scaffold the scavenge module

Scaffold a new module called scavenge. Based on the game design, the scavenge module sends tokens between participants.

• Implement sending tokens in the standard bank module.

• Use the optional --dep flag to specify the bank module.

ignite scaffold module scavenge --dep bank

This command creates the x/scavenge directory and imports the scavenge module into the blockchain in the app/app.go directory.
