Blockchain RPC Nodes

Self-hosted RPC and archive nodes for EVM chains, packaged as Docker Compose setups.

Pick a chain below, open its README, and follow the steps there — setup varies by client and network.

Structure

chain/
├── docker-compose.yml   # service definition (ports, volumes, command flags)
├── env.template         # configuration variables (copy to .env before use)
├── README.md            # minimal start steps for this chain
├── configure.sh         # optional: create .env, set EXT_IP
├── init-database.sh     # optional: genesis / datadir init
├── Dockerfile           # optional: local image build
├── create-jwt.sh        # OP Stack only: shared Engine API JWT
└── config/              # genesis, rollup, JWT, chain params

Not every chain uses every file. Chain data is stored under $HOME on the host, not inside the repo.

Quick Start

cd <chain>    # e.g. neox, bsc, bob
# follow <chain>/README.md

Repo-wide reminders:

• Chain datadirs live under $HOME on the host.
• .env files are gitignored — never commit secrets or private keys.
• OP Stack and Morph chains need a shared JWT and L1 RPC URLs (Morph: execution RPC only).
