#### Polkadot - A multi-chain framework for better blockchain interoperability

This snap ships the polkadot as a service for node operators.

Configure your polkadot service (*written to /var/snap/polkadot/common/service-args*):

```
 sudo snap set polkadot service-args="--name=MyName --chain=polkadot"
```

*Note: --base-path is always set by the snap to `$SNAP_COMMON/polkadot_base` and is not allowed to be configured.*

Start the service with:

```
sudo snap start polkadot
```

Check logs from the Polkadot service:

```
snap logs polkadot -f
```

Make the snap not restart when upgraded/refreshed (very useful for validators).

```
sudo snap set polkadot endure=true
```

*Note the Polkadot service will still be restarted as the result of changing service-args, etc.*
