📡 buidlguidl client

This project will download clients executables and start a Reth + Lighthouse node pair. Syncing the client databases will require ~1.2 TB of free space.

Requirements

• node (https://nodejs.org/en)
• yarn (https://yarnpkg.com/migration/overview)

Quickstart

To get a node started:

git clone https://github.com/BuidlGuidl/buidlguidl-client.git
cd buidlguidl-client
yarn install
node index.js

By default, client executables, databases, and logs will be established within /ethereum_clients. After initialization steps, the script displays a terminal view with scrolling client logs and some plots showing some machine and chain stats. Full client logs are located in ethereum_clients/reth/logs and ethereum_clients/lighthouse/logs. Exiting the terminal view (control-c or q) will also gracefully close your clients (can take 15 seconds or so).

If you want to specify a non-standard location for the ethereum_clients directory, pass a --directory (-d) option to index.js:

node index.js --directory path/for/ethereum_clients

If you want to use a Geth + Prysm client pair, pass those as --executionclient (-e) and --consensusclient (-c) options to index.js:

node index.js --executionclient geth --consensusclient prysm

You can opt in to the BuidlGuidl distributed RPC points system and earn points for serving RPC requests to the BuidlGuidl network by passing your eth address to the --owner (-o) option:

node index.js --owner <your ENS name or eth address>
