Configuration

If this is your first time installing an es-node, you'll need to configure it by creating a data file for each shard using the es-node init command. After that, you can start the es-node with various options.

During devnet tests, the run.sh file already includes the proper options for your convenience, but you should be prepared to specify configurations as needed.

Configuration to create data files

With es-node init command, you can init your es-node by creating a data file for each shard.

You can specify shard_len (the number of shards) or shard_index (the index of specified shards, and you can specify more than one) to create shards that you would like to mine. If both appear, shard_index takes precedence.

Here are the options that you can use with init command:

Name
Description
Default
Required

--datadir

Data directory for the storage files, databases and keystore

--encoding_type

Encoding type of the shards. 0: no encoding, 1: keccak256, 2: ethash, 3: blob poseidon. Default: 3

--shard_len

Number of shards to mine. Will create one data file per shard.

--shard_index

Indexes of shards to mine. Will create one data file per shard.

--l1.rpc

Completely disable the P2P stack, if P2P is disabled, mining will not start automatically.
