Network Node Set-Up
This guide will help you set up a Network (non-validator) BLOCX node using Docker.
💡 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:
✅ NODE1_ADDRESS – Enter your remote Execution Layer IP (e.g.,
66.42.97.78)✅ EXECUTION_PORT – Default is
8545(can be changed)✅ CONSENSUS_PORT – Default is
5052(can be changed)✅ CHAIN_ID – 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.
✅ 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 don’t 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.comNetwork Name:
BLOCX. MainnetTicker:
BLOCXCHAIN ID:
86996Explorer URL:
https://blocxscan.com/
You can add this to your MetaMask, dApp, or wallet tools directly.
You're Done!
You’ve either:
Set up a fully synced Network node, or
Connected directly via RPC for easier access
