Follow this guide to setup Nexis RPC on Devnet, You can do the same on Mainnet once it is live.

​
Requirements

  • Nexis CLI
  • System should be tuned

If any of the above requirements are not met, follow from the following:

Nexis CLI

Install Command Line Interface

System Tuning

Tune system for running Validators

​
Change Nexis CLI configurations

Run the following command to point to devnet

nexis config set --url http://api.devnet.nexis.network:8899
Once the Mainnet will be live you will have to set the configuration to use mainnet native rpc url instead of this one

​
Generate the keypairs

  1. Validator keypair
   nexis-keygen new -o ~/validator-keypair.json

​
Fund Validator address

nexis airdrop 10 ~/validator-keypair.json

​
Start validator

Now run the following command to start the validator

nexis-validator \
        --known-validator 5vXaeXtVESpVsA15L4cnce2ZMXvNEVDwfseY34VVK6EB \
        --known-validator HnTZjQX7xUp3hyVACB8FeAdAE3MDAdUUBcVDxFSJpYbZ \
        --entrypoint http://api.devnet.nexis.network:8000 \
        --expected-shred-version 30005 \
        --expected-genesis-hash 8EXN9mquvw6otwQFBJpCed4nk3aM774SPxQjhosDA44U \
         --only-known-rpc \
        --full-rpc-api \
        --no-voting \
        --identity ~/validator-keypair.json \
        --ledger ~/ledger/ \
        --rpc-bind-address 0.0.0.0 \
        --private-rpc \
        --dynamic-port-range 8000-10000 \
        --rpc-port 8899 \
        --log ~/nexis-validator.log \
        --no-poh-speed-test \
        --wal-recovery-mode skip_any_corrupted_record \
        --limit-ledger-size 50000000

Voila! Your RPC Node is running now, wait for few minutes and it should be started on port 8899.
