## 📚 **Scenario Overview
This scenario demonstrates how to configure a multi-chain island architecture where different blockchain nodes serve as hubs for different chains while maintaining cross-chain synchronization via Redis gossip. This architecture enables:
- **Horizontal scaling**: Each chain has its own hub node for block production
- **Redundancy**: Member nodes receive blocks from multiple chains via gossip
- **Isolation**: Chain-specific databases prevent cross-chain contamination
- **Efficiency**: Gossip-based sync eliminates need for periodic RPC polling
### **Use Case**
Organizations running multiple blockchain networks (e.g., mainnet and testnet) can deploy this architecture to:
- Distribute block production load across multiple nodes
- Ensure all nodes stay synchronized across chains
- Provide redundancy and fault tolerance
- Enable cross-chain operations without direct RPC dependencies
### **What You'll Learn**
- How to configure multi-chain island architecture with hub and member nodes
- Redis gossip-based block synchronization
- Chain-specific database management
- Cross-chain broadcasting and subscription
- Troubleshooting gossip sync issues
---
## 📋 **Prerequisites
### **Knowledge Required**
- Understanding of blockchain consensus and block production
- Redis Pub/Sub basics
- Systemd service management
- SQLite database operations
### **Tools Required**
- Redis server (redis://10.1.223.93:6379)
- SSH access to aitbc, aitbc1, and gitea-runner
- Python 3.13+ with broadcaster module installed
### **Setup Required**
- AITBC blockchain node installed on all three machines
- Redis server configured and accessible from all nodes
- Systemd service files for aitbc-blockchain-node
---
## 🔧 **Step-by-Step Workflow
### **Architecture Overview
The multi-chain island architecture consists of three nodes with specific roles:
| Node | Role | Block Production Chains | Supported Chains | Purpose |
|------|------|------------------------|------------------|---------|
| aitbc | Hub of ait-mainnet, Member of ait-testnet | ait-mainnet | ait-mainnet, ait-testnet | Produces mainnet blocks, receives testnet blocks via gossip |
| aitbc1 | Hub of ait-testnet, Member of ait-mainnet | ait-testnet | ait-mainnet, ait-testnet | Produces testnet blocks, receives mainnet blocks via gossip |
| gitea-runner | Member of both chains | (none) | ait-mainnet, ait-testnet | Receives both chains via gossip, no block production |
### **Step 1: Install Required Dependencies
Ensure the `broadcaster` module is installed on all nodes for Redis gossip backend:
```bash
# On aitbc
cd /opt/aitbc
source venv/bin/activate
pip install broadcaster>=0.3.1
# On aitbc1
ssh aitbc1 'cd /opt/aitbc && source venv/bin/activate && pip install broadcaster>=0.3.1'
# On gitea-runner
ssh gitea-runner 'cd /opt/aitbc && source venv/bin/activate && pip install broadcaster>=0.3.1'
```
### **Step 2: Configure aitbc (Hub of ait-mainnet)
Edit `/etc/aitbc/.env` on aitbc:
```bash
# Configure aitbc as hub of ait-mainnet, member of ait-testnet
block_production_chains=ait-mainnet
supported_chains=ait-mainnet,ait-testnet
gossip_backend=broadcast
gossip_broadcast_url=redis://10.1.223.93:6379
```
### **Step 3: Configure aitbc1 (Hub of ait-testnet)
Edit `/etc/aitbc/.env` on aitbc1:
```bash
ssh aitbc1 'cat > /etc/aitbc/.env << EOF
block_production_chains=ait-testnet
supported_chains=ait-mainnet,ait-testnet
gossip_backend=broadcast
gossip_broadcast_url=redis://10.1.223.93:6379
default_peer_rpc_url=http://10.1.223.93:8006
EOF'
```
### **Step 4: Configure gitea-runner (Member of both chains)
Edit `/etc/aitbc/.env` on gitea-runner:
```bash
ssh gitea-runner 'cat > /etc/aitbc/.env << EOF
block_production_chains=
supported_chains=ait-mainnet,ait-testnet
gossip_backend=broadcast
gossip_broadcast_url=redis://10.1.223.93:6379
default_peer_rpc_url=http://10.1.223.93:8006
EOF'
```
### **Step 5: Clear Stale Databases (if needed)
If nodes have corrupted or stale chain data, clear the databases:
```bash
# Clear aitbc1's ait-mainnet database (member role, not hub)
ssh aitbc1 'systemctl stop aitbc-blockchain-node && rm -rf /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet && systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node'
# Clear gitea-runner's ait-testnet database (member role, not hub)
ssh gitea-runner 'systemctl stop aitbc-blockchain-node && rm -rf /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-testnet && systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node'
```
### **Step 6: Restart All Blockchain Services
```bash
systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node
ssh aitbc1 'systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node'
ssh gitea-runner 'systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node'
```
### **Step 7: Verify Gossip Subscriptions
Check that each node is subscribed to the correct Redis topics:
```bash
# Check Redis subscriber count
redis-cli -h 10.1.223.93 -p 6379 PUBSUB NUMSUB blocks.ait-mainnet
redis-cli -h 10.1.223.93 -p 6379 PUBSUB NUMSUB blocks.ait-testnet
```
Expected output: 3 subscribers for each topic (aitbc, aitbc1, gitea-runner)
### **Step 8: Verify Block Production
Check that each hub is producing blocks for its designated chain:
```bash
# Check aitbc producing ait-mainnet blocks
journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "\[BROADCAST\].*ait-mainnet"
# Check aitbc1 producing ait-testnet blocks
ssh aitbc1 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "\[BROADCAST\].*ait-testnet"'
```
### **Step 9: Verify Cross-Chain Sync
Check that nodes are receiving blocks from other chains via gossip:
```bash
# Check aitbc receiving ait-testnet blocks
journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "Received block.*ait-testnet"
# Check aitbc1 receiving ait-mainnet blocks
ssh aitbc1 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "Received block.*ait-mainnet"'
# Check gitea-runner receiving both chains
ssh gitea-runner 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "Received block"'
```
---
## 🧪 **Validation
Validate this scenario with the shared 3-node harness:
```bash
bash scripts/workflow/44_comprehensive_multi_node_scenario.sh
```
**Node coverage**:
- `aitbc1`: hub of ait-testnet, member of ait-mainnet
- `aitbc`: hub of ait-mainnet, member of ait-testnet
- `gitea-runner`: member of both chains
**Validation guide**:
- [Scenario Validation Guide](./VALIDATION.md)
**Expected result**:
- aitbc produces ait-mainnet blocks only
- aitbc1 produces ait-testnet blocks only
- gitea-runner produces no blocks
- All nodes receive blocks from both chains via gossip
- Redis subscriber count is 3 for each topic
- No "Gap detected" or "Fork detected" errors
- Chain-specific databases remain isolated
**Manual validation commands**:
```bash
# Verify block production roles
journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "Skipping block production"
ssh aitbc1 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "Skipping block production"'
ssh gitea-runner 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --no-pager | grep "Skipping block production"'
# Verify gossip subscriptions
redis-cli -h 10.1.223.93 -p 6379 PUBSUB NUMSUB blocks.ait-mainnet
redis-cli -h 10.1.223.93 -p 6379 PUBSUB NUMSUB blocks.ait-testnet
# Verify cross-chain sync
journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --since "5 minutes ago" --no-pager | grep "Received block.*ait-testnet" | tail -5
ssh aitbc1 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --since "5 minutes ago" --no-pager | grep "Received block.*ait-mainnet" | tail -5'
ssh gitea-runner 'journalctl -u aitbc-blockchain-node --since "5 minutes ago" --no-pager | grep "Received block" | tail -10'
```
---
## 💻 **Code Examples Using Agent SDK
### **Example 1: Query Multi-Chain Node Status**
```python
from aitbc_agent_sdk import Agent, AgentConfig
config = AgentConfig(
name="multi-chain-monitor",
blockchain_network="ait-mainnet"
)
agent = Agent(config)
agent.start()
# Get status for both chains
mainnet_status = agent.get_chain_status("ait-mainnet")
testnet_status = agent.get_chain_status("ait-testnet")
print(f"Mainnet height: {mainnet_status['height']}")
print(f"Testnet height: {testnet_status['height']}")
```
### **Example 2: Cross-Chain Transaction Monitoring**
```python
# Monitor transactions across both chains
async def monitor_multi_chain():
while True:
# Check mainnet
mainnet_txs = await agent.get_pending_transactions("ait-mainnet")
# Check testnet
testnet_txs = await agent.get_pending_transactions("ait-testnet")
print(f"Mainnet pending: {len(mainnet_txs)}")
print(f"Testnet pending: {len(testnet_txs)}")
await asyncio.sleep(10)
```

## ⚠️ **Troubleshooting
### **Issue: Node not receiving blocks from other chains**
**Symptoms**: Node shows "Successfully subscribed" but no "Received block" messages for certain chains.
**Root Cause**: Missing `broadcaster` Python module causing fallback to in-memory backend.
**Solution**:
```bash
pip install broadcaster>=0.3.1
systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node
```
**Verification**:
```bash
python3 -c "from broadcaster import Broadcast; print('OK')"
redis-cli -h 10.1.223.93 -p 6379 PUBSUB NUMSUB blocks.ait-testnet
```
### **Issue: "Gap detected" errors on member nodes**
**Symptoms**: Member node reports "Gap detected" when receiving blocks from hub.
**Root Cause**: Corrupted or stale database from previous sync attempts.
**Solution**:
```bash
systemctl stop aitbc-blockchain-node
rm -rf /var/lib/aitbc/data/[chain-name]
systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node
```
### **Issue: Fork detection warnings**
**Symptoms**: "Fork detected" warnings in logs when receiving blocks.
**Root Cause**: Cross-chain broadcasting bug (fixed in recent code).
**Solution**: Ensure latest code is deployed with chain-specific gossip topics:
```bash
cd /opt/aitbc
git pull
systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node
```
