Running Network1 Node
Node stores the full blockchain history on disk and can answer the data request from the network. It also receives and validates the new blocks and transactions while also verifies the states of every account.
To run a Network1 Node, follow the simple guide below;
Supported Platforms: Mac OS X and Linux.
Steps to Run a Full node
Go to the Network1 repository and download pre-build binaries or follow the instructions below:
# Linux
wget $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/network1/net1/releases/latest |grep browser_ |grep geth_linux |cut -d\" -f4)
mv geth_linux geth
chmod -v u+x geth
# MacOS
wget $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/network1/net1/releases/latest |grep browser_ |grep geth_mac |cut -d\" -f4)
mv geth_mac geth
chmod -v u+x gethDownload genesis.json and config.toml by:
# mainnet
wget $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/network1/net1/releases/latest |grep browser_ |grep mainnet |cut -d\" -f4)
unzip mainnet.zip
# testnet
wget $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/network1/net1/releases/latest |grep browser_ |grep testnet |cut -d\" -f4)
unzip testnet.zipDownload snapshot
Download latest chaindata snapshot and follow the guide to structure your files.
mv server/data-seed/geth/chaindata node/geth/chaindata
mv server/data-seed/geth/chaindata node/geth/triecacheStart a node
./geth --config ./config.toml --datadir ./node --cache 8000 --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs --history.transactions 0Make sure you use the version of geth you downloaded with wget above, and not your local installation of geth, which might be the wrong version.
It will run with Hash-Base Storage Scheme by default.
./geth --config ./config.toml --datadir ./node --cache 8000 --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs --history.transactions 0 --tries-verify-mode noneIt will run with Path-Base Storage Scheme and enable inline state prune, keeping the latest 90000 blocks’ history state by default.
./geth --config ./config.toml --datadir ./node --cache 8000 --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs --history.transactions 0 --tries-verify-mode none --state.scheme pathMonitor node status
You can monitor the log from ./node/network1.log by default. When your node has started syncing, you should be able to see the following output:
t=2022-09-08T13:00:27+0000 lvl=info msg="Imported new chain segment" blocks=1 txs=177 mgas=17.317 elapsed=31.131ms mgasps=556.259 number=21,153,429 hash=0x42e6b54ba7106387f0650defc62c9ace3160b427702dab7bd1c5abb83a32d8db dirty="0.00 B"

It is recommended to use HBSS with level DB for archive node, PBSS for archive node is not supported yet. To sync from genesis block, you would need a more powerful hardware. Server should at least have 40k IOPS and be at least an i3/i3en series server.
If you can not download the chaindata snapshot and want to sync from genesis, then you have to generate the genesis block first, for which you have already downloaded the genesis.json in the Step - 2 above where you have downloaded config files.
Write genesis state locally
## It will init genesis with Hash-Base Storage Scheme by default.
./geth --datadir ./node init ./genesis.jsonYou will see the following output:

## start a full node
./geth --config ./config.toml --datadir ./node --cache 8000 --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs --history.transactions 0That's it, your full node is now live.
