Run a Full Node
The Optimism Fork (Holocene) will be activated on Mainnet on Thu 09 Jan 2025 18:00:01 UTC
Prior to the update, update your nodes to:
- run op-geth >= v1.101411.2
- run op-node >= v1.10.0
- set on both the flag
--override.holocene=1736445601
If you are not using the previous fork, Granite, on your nodes, please reach out (check the following flag is set --override.granite). In that case, you might need to enable the Granite hard fork flags two days before on Tue 07 Jan 2025 18:00:01 UTC. You can use the same software version and configure it with --override.granite=1736272801
BOB Sepolia flags: —override.holocene=1732633200, granite: "1725984001"
There is no protocol level incentive to run a BOB full node. If you’re interested in accessing the BOB chain, but you don’t want to set up your own node, see our Node Providers to get RPC access to fully-managed nodes hosted by a third-party provider.
Requirements
As of August 2024 we recommend you have at least the following hardware configuration to run a node:
- at least 8 GB RAM
- an SSD, preferably NVME drive with at least 100 GB free
Software stack:
Configuration
We provide a simple docker-compose configuration to get you started. This guide assumes all data will be stored under /opt/.
- Retrieve BOB mainnet chain configuration.
