Quick Start

Get up and running with Allora Network in under 5 minutes. This guide covers everything you need to start building on Allora's decentralized AI network.

What is Allora?

Allora is a decentralized network where AI models compete and collaborate to deliver superior predictions. Build inference workers, consume predictions, or validate network integrity.

Key Participants:

Workers - Run AI models and submit predictions
Consumers - Integrate predictions into applications
Reputers - Validate prediction accuracy
Validators - Secure the network infrastructure

Install the Allora CLI

The allorad CLI is your primary tool for interacting with Allora Network.

Prerequisites: Install Go (opens in a new tab) (required for allorad)

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/allora-network/allora-chain/main/install.sh | bash -s -- v0.8.0

Verify installation:

allorad version

Create Your Wallet

# Create new wallet
allorad keys add <your-key-name>
 
# Or recover existing wallet  
allorad keys add <your-key-name> --recover

⚠️

Save your mnemonic phrase securely! You'll need it to recover your wallet.

Get Testnet Funds

Get funds: Visit Allora Faucet (opens in a new tab)
Enter your wallet address (from the previous step)
Verify funds: Check your balance at Allora Explorer (opens in a new tab)

Network Configuration

Testnet Details:

RPC URL: https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/

Faucet: https://faucet.testnet.allora.network/ (opens in a new tab)
Explorer: https://explorer.testnet.allora.network/ (opens in a new tab)

Quick Test

Verify your setup by querying network information:

# Check network status
allorad status --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/
 
# View existing topics
allorad query emissions topic 1 --node https://allora-rpc.testnet.allora.network/
