Running an Ethereum RPC Node

Requirements 📄​

Ethereum nodes have some basic hardware requirements that must be met in order to proceed with the install process:

Intel NUC, 7th gen or higher (x86) CPU
4-8 GB RAM
2 TB SSD

Choose your Path 🛣️​

Current Ethereum recommended practice is to manage your node using DAppNode. You can follow along the very helpful guide provided by DAppNode here.

If you elect to go the more advanced route, you can setup your node using the command line or another recommended tool. A list of guided setups is available on the Ethereum developer docs.

⚠️ Starting an Ethereum node can involve a wide variety of commands depending upon your chosen path!

Apply to our Provider Incubation Program 📋​

In our current state of Testnet, there is an additional stage to pass through before you can become a provider on the Lava Network. Please fill out the application form for our Provider Incubation Program. Feel free to drop a line in our Discord once you’ve completed this step!

Setup your Provider on Lava Network 🌋​

Once you’ve been accepted - to set up your provider on the Lava Network, you can refer to the provider setup documentation available elsewhere in our docs. This should provide you with the necessary information to configure and operate your provider node.
