⚙️Set up validator node

Full Consensus Node

Instructions relating to running a validator node on the Mainnet are mostly identical or highly similar than those for the Testnet. 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

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 instructions on light consensus nodes.
