Boot Node

Boot Nodes were introduced on the Anubis mainnet. Anubis Boot Nodes are similar to Ethereum Boot Nodes, refer here for more details. The main benefit of Boot Nodes is that it would be easier for user to connect to the Anubis network. Users would no longer need to setup the StaticNodes in config.toml, just leave it empty and make sure delete the BootstrapNodes field in config.toml.

Impact To Users¶

To Run A Boot Node¶

Boot nodes are super-lightweight nodes, they can be ran by a very cheap device, like: 2 cores, 2GB memory, 20GB disk. \ If you want to support the Anubis ecosystem by providing new boot nodes, you can follow this guide to do it.

Help¶

Since boot nodes have been introduced recently, if you get any problem in using it, please let us know. You may just create new issue in Anubis GitHub repo.
