Run full node

Full node function

• Stores the full blockchain history on disk and can answer requests for data from the network.

• Receive and validate new blocks and transactions.

• Verify the status of each account.

Support platform

We currently support running full node Linux.

• The VPS runs the latest version of Linux.

• Important 1T GB free disk space, solid state drive (SSD), gp3, 8k IOPS, 250MB/S throughput, read latency <1ms. (NVMe SSD required if starting from snapshot/quick sync)

• 8-core CPU and 16 GB of memory (RAM).

• Quick sync

Default sync mode. Synchronizes a fast-syncing full node by downloading the entire state database, first requesting headers, and then filling in block bodies and receipts. Once the fast sync reaches the best block of the FON smart chain network, it will switch to full sync mode.

• Full sync

Synchronizes a full node from genesis, validating all blocks and executing all transactions. This mode is a bit slower than Quick Sync, but more secure.
