Network Presets

The Privacy Boost CLI includes built-in network presets for common configurations.

Available Presets

Preset	Aliases	Server URL	RPC URL	Chain ID
`local`	`localhost`, `dev`	Environment or `http://localhost:8080`	Environment or `http://localhost:8545`	Discovered
`op-sepolia`	`optimism-sepolia`, `opsepolia`	`https://optimism.sepolia.privacyboost.io`	`https://sepolia.optimism.io`	11155420
`op-mainnet`	`optimism-mainnet`, `op`, `optimism`	`https://optimism.privacyboost.io`	`https://mainnet.optimism.io`	10
`base-mainnet`	`base`	`https://base.privacyboost.io`	`https://mainnet.base.org`	8453
`base-sepolia`	`basesepolia`	`https://base.sepolia.privacyboost.io`	`https://sepolia.base.org`	84532
`soneium-mainnet`	`soneium`	`https://soneium.privacyboost.io`	`https://rpc.soneium.org`	1868
`ink-mainnet`	`ink`	`https://ink.privacyboost.io`	`https://rpc-gel.inkonchain.com`	57073

Preset names are case-insensitive. All hosted presets use WETH at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006. The chain IDs above identify the deployments; chain_id and shield_contract_address are auto-discovered from each server’s /api/v1/info endpoint at runtime.

privacy-boost --network ink-mainnet --app-id YOUR_APP_ID login
privacy-boost --network base-mainnet balances
privacy-boost --network base-sepolia balances
privacy-boost --network op-mainnet balances
privacy-boost --network soneium-mainnet balances

The Rust CLI library exposes the same presets:

use privacy_boost_cli::{NetworkPreset, PrivacyBoost};

let mut config = NetworkPreset::InkMainnet.config();
config.app_id = Some("YOUR_APP_ID".into());
let sdk = PrivacyBoost::new(config)?;

Other hosted variants are OpSepolia, OpMainnet, BaseMainnet, BaseSepolia, and SoneiumMainnet.

Custom Configuration

Configuration File

Create a custom configuration at ~/.privacy-boost/config.toml:

# Custom network configuration
server_url = "https://my-indexer.example.com"
chain_id = 1
shield_contract_address = "0x..."
weth_contract_address = "0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006"
rpc_url = "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY"
timeout_secs = 60

Load automatically or specify path:

# Uses ~/.privacy-boost/config.toml automatically
privacy-boost status

# Specify custom path
privacy-boost --config /path/to/config.toml status

Environment Variables

Override any configuration with environment variables:

export PRIVACY_BOOST_SERVER_URL="https://custom-indexer.com"
export PRIVACY_BOOST_CHAIN_ID=1
export PRIVACY_BOOST_RPC_URL="https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY"
export PRIVACY_BOOST_SHIELD_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="0x..."
export PRIVACY_BOOST_WETH_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="0x..."

privacy-boost status

Priority Order

The CLI selects one configuration source, in this order:

--network (or PRIVACY_BOOST_NETWORK)
--config (or PRIVACY_BOOST_CONFIG)
~/.privacy-boost/config.toml
The local preset

Passing --network bypasses config files. Explicit field flags such as --rpc-url, and their corresponding PRIVACY_BOOST_* environment variables, override the selected source. A flag takes precedence over its environment variable.

Initialize Configuration

Create a configuration file from a preset:

# Create OP Sepolia config
privacy-boost init --network op-sepolia

# Or create Ink mainnet config
privacy-boost init --network ink-mainnet

# View created config
cat ~/.privacy-boost/config.toml

If ~/.privacy-boost/config.toml already exists, init will skip and warn you. Delete the existing file first to reinitialize. You can also import an existing config file as the default:

privacy-boost init --config /path/to/my-config.toml

Multiple Configurations

Use the --config flag to point at different config files per command:

privacy-boost --config ~/.privacy-boost/mainnet.toml balances
privacy-boost --config ~/.privacy-boost/sepolia.toml balances

RPC Provider Recommendations

Public RPC Endpoints

Network	Provider	URL
OP Sepolia	Optimism	`https://sepolia.optimism.io`
OP Sepolia	PublicNode	`https://optimism-sepolia.publicnode.com`

Private RPC Providers

For higher rate limits, use a dedicated RPC provider:

Alchemy: https://opt-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_KEY
Infura: https://optimism-sepolia.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY

Chain ID Reference

Network	Chain ID
OP Mainnet	10
OP Sepolia	11155420
Ink Mainnet	57073
Base Mainnet	8453
Base Sepolia	84532
Soneium Mainnet	1868
