Hardware requirements
We recommend running a node with no less than the following resources:
- 16 GB RAM
- 500GB of NVMe storage
Running a Node
- Clone the repo (opens in a new tab).
- Copy the relevant file (
.env.testnet.SAMPLE,.env.mainnet.SAMPLE) into a new file without the .SAMPLE suffix: (.env.testnet,.env.mainnet). - Edit the resulting file as needed, such as using your own L1 RPC endpoint.
- Run
docker compose -f testnet.docker-compose.yml up. Confirm you get a response:
curl -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false]}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" http://127.0.0.1:8545
