⚙️Install A Local Node

A guide to installing a Taraxa node directly on a local machine

Installing a node takes only a few minutes. The easiest way to deploy a persistent node that will be "always-on" is using a VPS service in the cloud.

Run a Mainnet or Testnet Node

Mainnet

Running a mainnet node allows for participation in Taraxa's growing ecosystem either as a validator or as a node for relay, end users and applications.

Testnet

Running a testnet node helps to ensure the continued improvement of the Taraxa protocol. By registering your node on the community site you guarantee your node participates in testnet consensus as a validator and has the chance to earn rewards for helping improve Taraxa.
