🧬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:

git clone https://github.com/BLOCXTECH/BLOCX-Node-Setup.git
cd BLOCX-Node-Setup

---

Step 1: Install Docker

Run the helper script to install Docker on your server:

./docker-setup.sh

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:

./initExecution.sh

Select the init option when prompted. Then start option when prompted.

---

✅ You should see:

[+] Running 3/3
Container blocx-temp-execution-1  Started
Container blocx-temp-beacon-1     Started
Node started successfully.

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.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!

You’ve either:

• Set up a fully synced Network node, or

• Connected directly via RPC for easier access
