Full Consensus Node

Instructions relating to running a validator node on the Mainnet are mostly identical or highly similar than those for the . Here's how you can install a node on Linux.

mkdir -p mainnet/config
cd mainnet
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-ops/master/taraxa_compose_mainnet/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs

Because the Taraxa network state has gotten very large, it takes quite a long time to sync. An alternative is to sync from a snapshot, which will drastically cut down on the amount of syncing time and can get your node up & running much more quickly.

Lite Consensus Node (beta)

You could also choose to run a lite-version of the consensus nodes, with ~90% SSD savings. It operates exactly the same as a full node, but prunes most of the historical states, keeping just a few recent Periods.

Please follow the .

Lite node requires pruning, and you need to restart your lite node for pruning to start. It's recommended to set up a script to periodically restart the lite node to keep disk space usage to a mininum.
