Start New Project

The high level steps to start and deploy a new project are:

1. Create from template​

eigenx app create my-app typescript

For more information, refer to Create Application.

2. Configure environment​

cd my-app
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your settings.

3. Test locally (if needed)​

npm install
npm run dev

4. Deploy to TEE​

eigenx app deploy

5. (Optional) Add TLS if needed​

eigenx app configure tls

For more information, refer to Configure TLS.

Upgrade​

After making changes to your code or environment variables:

eigenx app upgrade

The CLI will rebuild and redeploy your application with the latest changes.

Application Environment​

Your TEE application runs with these capabilities:

Secure Execution​

Your code runs in an Intel TDX instance with hardware-level isolation.

Auto-Generated Wallet​

Access a private mnemonic via process.env.MNEMONIC. For more information, refer to Use App Wallet.

Environment Variables​

All variables from your .env file are available in your container:

  • Variables with _PUBLIC suffix are visible to users for transparency
  • Standard variables remain private and encrypted within the TEE

Onchain Management​

Your app's lifecycle is controlled via Ethereum smart contracts.
