Running an Aleph Node on Mainnet

Run an Aleph node on the mainnet using these instructions, and validate transactions on a secure blockchain with zk-proof tech.

Running a node on the Mainnet is very similar to the Testnet, with only a few important differences:

• some configuration variables change (most importantly the BOOT_NODES)

• snapshot and chainspec need to be downloaded from the appropriate locations

• Aleph Node Runner users need to supply the --mainnet flag

• There admission process is permissionless and requires no input from the user. The only hard requirement is the minimal bond of 25000 AZERO
