Network Node Set-Up
This guide will help you set up a Network (non-validator) BLOCX node using Docker.
π‘ Ideal if you want to support the network or explore the BLOCX chain without participating in consensus as a validator.
Step 0: Clone the Repository
Start by cloning the official node setup repository:
Step 1: Install Docker
Run the helper script to install Docker on your server:
This will install all required Docker components to run your node.
Step 2: Launch the Setup Script
Now start the node setup process by running:
Select the init
option when prompted.
Then start
option when prompted.
Step 3: Enter Required Configuration
Once you select start
, the script will ask you to provide the following details:
β NODE1_ADDRESS β Enter your remote Execution Layer IP (e.g.,
178.18.248.45
)β EXECUTION_PORT β Default is
8545
(can be changed)β CONSENSUS_PORT β Default is
5052
(can be changed)β CHAIN_ID β Provide the BLOCX chain ID
You can leave all other optional fields blank.
Next, you'll be asked:
Type N
and press Enter to continue with a Network node setup.
β You should see:
Your Node is Live!
Your Network node is now:
Syncing with the BLOCX chain
Connected to the network
Contributing to network decentralization
Alternative: Connect Directly via Public RPC
If you donβt want to set up your own node, you can directly connect to our live BLOCX RPC endpoint using the details below:
RPC URL:
https://rpc.blocxscan.com
Network Name:
BLOCX. Mainnet
Ticker:
BLOCX
CHAIN ID:
86996
Explorer URL:
https://blocxscan.com/
You can add this to your MetaMask, dApp, or wallet tools directly.
You're Done!
Youβve either:
Set up a fully synced Network node, or
Connected directly via RPC for easier access
