RPC Node

---

Running a RPC node for the 0G-Galileo-Testnet in the 0G ecosystem means to provide a public or private RPC service for the community.

Hardware Requirements

Component	Mainnet	Testnet
Memory	64 GB	64 GB
CPU	8 cores	8 cores
Disk	1 TB NVME SSD	4 TB NVME SSD
Bandwidth	100 MBps for Download / Upload	100 MBps for Download / Upload

1. Download Package

Download the latest package for node binaries (named "galileo.tar.gz")

wget -O galileo.tar.gz https://github.com/0glabs/0gchain-NG/releases/download/v1.1.1/galileo-v1.1.1.tar.gz

2. Extract Package

Unzip this file to your home path

tar -xzvf galileo.tar.gz -C ~

3. Copy Files and Set Permissions

cd galileo
cp -r 0g-home {your data path}
sudo chmod 777 ./bin/geth
sudo chmod 777 ./bin/0gchaind

4. Initialize Geth

./bin/geth init --datadir /{your data path}/0g-home/geth-home ./genesis.json

5. Initialize 0gchaind with Temporary Directory

./bin/0gchaind init {node name} --home /{your data path}/tmp

6. Copy Node Files to 0gchaind Home

cp /{your data path}/tmp/data/priv_validator_state.json /{your data path}/0g-home/0gchaind-home/data/
cp /{your data path}/tmp/config/node_key.json /{your data path}/0g-home/0gchaind-home/config/
cp /{your data path}/tmp/config/priv_validator_key.json /{your data path}/0g-home/0gchaind-home/config/

Note: The temporary directory can be deleted after this step.

7. Start 0gchaind

cd ~/galileo
nohup ./bin/0gchaind start \
    --rpc.laddr tcp://0.0.0.0:26657 \
    --chain-spec devnet \
    --kzg.trusted-setup-path=kzg-trusted-setup.json \
    --engine.jwt-secret-path=jwt-secret.hex \
    --kzg.implementation=crate-crypto/go-kzg-4844 \
    --block-store-service.enabled \
    --node-api.enabled \
    --node-api.logging \
    --node-api.address 0.0.0.0:3500 \
    --pruning=nothing \
    --home /{your data path}/0g-home/0gchaind-home \
    --p2p.seeds 85a9b9a1b7fa0969704db2bc37f7c100855a75d9@8.218.88.60:26656 \
    --p2p.external_address {your node ip}:26656 > /{your data path}/0g-home/log/0gchaind.log 2>&1 &

8. Start Geth

cd ~/galileo
nohup ./bin/geth --config geth-config.toml \
	 --nat extip:{your node ip} \
	 --bootnodes enode://de7b86d8ac452b1413983049c20eafa2ea0851a3219c2cc12649b971c1677bd83fe24c5331e078471e52a94d95e8cde84cb9d866574fec957124e57ac6056699@8.218.88.60:30303 \
	 --datadir /{your data path}/0g-home/geth-home \
	 --networkid 16601 > /{your data path}/0g-home/log/geth.log 2>&1 &

9. Check Chain Status

tail -f /{your data path}/0g-home/log/geth.log
tail -f /{your data path}/0g-home/log/0gchaind.log

Check logs to confirm your node is running properly.
