Running a Mainnet Node

The basic instructions for setting up a DFK Chain mainnet node can by found in the Avalanche Subnet Docs at: https://docs.avax.network/nodes/run/subnet-node

The AvaLabs subnet-evm repository is located at: https://github.com/ava-labs/subnet-evm.

Subnet Upgrades

The DFK Chain upgrade settings are located at: https://github.com/ava-labs/public-chain-assets/blob/main/chains/53935/upgrade.json.

If you are using default directories, add the upgrade.json file to: :$HOME/.avalanchego/configs/chains/q2aTwKuyzgs8pynF7UXBZCU7DejbZbZ6EUyHr3JQzYgwNPUPi.

Otherwise, for details on adding the file to your node's configuration settings, see: https://docs.avax.network/subnets/customize-a-subnet#network-upgrades-enabledisable-precompiles.

State Sync

Node operators who are only interested in current state of DFK Chain (i.e. not an archive node) can turn on State Sync for both DFK Chain and C-Chain, allowing your node to sync much faster.

To turn on State Sync, add the following to your config.json files, which by default are located in:

  • C-Chain: {chain-config-dir}/C/config.json

  • DFK Chain: {chain-config-dir}/q2aTwKuyzgs8pynF7UXBZCU7DejbZbZ6EUyHr3JQzYgwNPUPi/config.json

Additional instructions can be found at: https://docs.avax.network/nodes/maintain/chain-config-flags#state-sync.
