Local Arkade Operator

Run arkade-regtest to spin up a Bitcoin regtest network with arkd, the emulator, the solver, and covclaimd as a Docker Compose stack. Requirements

Docker with the docker compose plugin
Node.js 18 or later

Linux
macOS
Windows

git clone https://github.com/ArkLabsHQ/arkade-regtest.git
cd arkade-regtest
node regtest.mjs start --profile solver --profile covclaimd

git clone https://github.com/ArkLabsHQ/arkade-regtest.git
cd arkade-regtest
node regtest.mjs start --profile solver --profile covclaimd

Run the commands in PowerShell — no WSL required.

git clone https://github.com/ArkLabsHQ/arkade-regtest.git
cd arkade-regtest
node regtest.mjs start --profile solver --profile covclaimd

The solver and covclaimd profiles pull in the ark and emulator profiles automatically, so this brings up arkd, the arkd wallet, mempool explorer, emulator, solver, and covclaimd — and leaves Boltz and Fulmine out. start also initializes the ark client against the local arkd and seeds it with offchain funds. Use node regtest.mjs stop to stop the services (data is preserved) or node regtest.mjs clean to remove all containers and volumes. Service ports

Connect your SDK to the local operator:

Network	URL	Status
Regtest	http://localhost:7070	Self-deployed

This lets you test wallet creation, offchain payments, and unilateral exits without touching public test networks.
