Public
These nodes are permissionless and do not require Immutable to allowlist you. This is the easiest way to run a node in the network.
Requirements
- Minimum hardware requirements: 2 AWS vCPU, 4GB RAM, 100GB free storage space.
- Ubuntu 22.04.1 (tested on 22.04.1)
- Official Documentation
Prerequisites
- Install Docker
Instructions
Setup the Immutable zkEVM node
- Create a data directory.
mkdir /opt/immutable-zkevm
- Pull the Docker image.
docker pull ghcr.io/immutable/go-ethereum/go-ethereum:latest
# Create a short-form tag we can reference in the next few commands
docker tag ghcr.io/immutable/go-ethereum/go-ethereum:latest geth
- Initialise the node.
- Testnet
- Mainnet
docker run \
--rm \
-v /opt/immutable-zkevm:/mnt/geth \
--name geth \
geth immutable bootstrap rpc \
--zkevm testnet \
--datadir /mnt/geth
docker run \
--rm \
-v /opt/immutable-zkevm:/mnt/geth \
--name geth \
geth immutable bootstrap rpc \
--zkevm mainnet \
--datadir /mnt/geth
- Start the Immutable zkEVM node as a service
- Testnet
- Mainnet
docker run \
-d \
--restart=always \
-v /opt/immutable-zkevm:/mnt/geth \
--name geth \
-p 8545:8545 \
