Configuring nodes in the Ethereum network
Configuring nodes in an Ethereum blockchain network involves setting up the Ethereum client software, connecting nodes to the network, and configuring their behavior. Nodes are essential participants in the blockchain network that are responsible for validating transactions, executing smart contracts, and propagating data across the network. Follow these steps to configure nodes in an Ethereum blockchain network:
- Install an Ethereum client software
Select an Ethereum client software that suits your requirements. Popular options include Geth (Go-Ethereum), Besu (Hyperledger Besu), Nethermind, and EthereumJS. Each client has its unique features and configurations.
Install the chosen Ethereum client on each node. The installation process may vary, depending on the client and your operating system. The following instructions apply to Geth.
Save the YAML configuration in a file named
geth-deployment.yaml
:apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
