How to connect the Sync2 wallet to a Thor Solo Node
This tutorial will provide a step by step guide for running a Thor solo node and connecting it to the Sync2 wallet. The Thor solo node is a sandbox development mode for the VechainThor blockchain, that can be started (and is only available) on a single server. It is not publicly accessible and the generated blocks will be lost if the solo node is stopped.
Step 1 : Launch the solo node
Run Thor solo with the following docker command or follow the How to run a Thor Solo Node tutorial.
This will launch a solo node with the following configuration:
On a localhost using port 8669
Using the latest release of thor solo
Accepting all cross origin requests
Allowing all remote connections
Step 2 : Connect Sync2 node to solo node
Sync2 is designed to work with all mainstream web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari, MS Edge, Firefox, etc), desktop, and mobile devices.
The main advantage and purpose of Sync2 is the massive simplification of dApps and dApp usage. All editions of Sync2, no matter whether the native app is built for desktop or mobile or the automatically invoked SPA version, are designed to appear and function pretty much in the same way, therefore providing a consistent and comfortable user experience for users across different OS and devices.

Congrats! You have successfully connected to a Thor solo node with the Sync2 wallet, and you can now deploy/integrate by using inspector or you can check out the Useful tips for building a dApp by using Connex.
Step 3: Launch Devpal
Devpal is a set of tools to help your develop and test on a Thor solo mode and start your blockchain journey smoothly. Devpal contains two tools:
Inspector: a tool that allows you to deploy and interact with the contract. Available here.
You can simply run devpal by running the following command:
http://locahost:8669 is set as the default node url.
