XODE Node (Kusama 3344) ​

No longer in use

XODE has moved from Kusama (para ID 3344) to the Polkadot Relay Chain (para ID 3417), so this guide is kept for reference only. To run a node today, follow XODE Node. See From Kusama to Polkadot for details.

Requirements ​

  • 8 Core (Core i9 or equivalent)
  • 32 GB RAM
  • 1 TB SSD Drive
  • Ubuntu 24 Operating System

STEP 1: Downloading the xode-node binary ​

x86-64 ​

bash
curl -L "https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=10zStcLL08V3hiCy507CBXMCKCb2VFQsM&confirm=xxx" -o xode-node

aarch64 ​

bash
curl -L "https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1S8uBEuaZhSfJMCwKvbzWXAw_7J4EgPVE&confirm=xxx" -o xode-node

STEP 2: Download the Xode Blockchain Kusama 3344 Chainspecs ​

bash
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19C8s1MdVubYjMFiLBmvwhWxTK6bPeyve' -O raw-xode-node-chainspec.json

STEP 3: Make the xode-node binary executable ​

bash
chmod +x xode-node

STEP 4: Make a xode base path directory ​

bash
mkdir xode

STEP 5: Create a shell script ​

bash
nano xode-node.sh
bash
#!/bin/bash
/home/ubuntu/xode-node \
--chain /home/ubuntu/raw-xode-node-chainspec.json \
--base-path /home/ubuntu/xode \
--rpc-port 9944 \
--pruning archive \
--telemetry-url "wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0" \
--name "xode-node"

Description ​

  • /home/ubuntu/xode-node : This specifies the directory of the xode-node binary
  • --chain /home/ubuntu/raw-xode-node-chainspec.json This argument tells the command that the chain specification file is located at /home/ubuntu/raw-xode-node-chainspec.json
  • --base-path /home/ubuntu/xode : This argument accepts a directory path where the database will be stored. In this example, the data will be stored in /home/ubuntu/xode
  • --rpc-port 9944 : This specifies the port on which the node will run (default: 9944).
  • --pruning archive : This specifies that the node will run in archive mode. If you want the node to run as a full node instead, you can remove this argument.
  • --telemetry-url "wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0" : This makes the node visible in telemetry.
  • --name "your-node-name” :This sets a custom node name that will be reflected in telemetry. Replace "your-node-name” with your desired name, e.g., --name "xode-node”

Enable RPC add the following line. ​

bash
--rpc-external \
--unsafe-rpc-external \
--rpc-methods safe \
--rpc-cors '*'

Full example of running a full node with RPC enabled. ​

bash
#!/bin/bash
/home/ubuntu/xode-node \
--chain /home/ubuntu/raw-xode-node-chainspec.json \
--base-path /home/ubuntu/xode \
--rpc-port 9944 \
--pruning archive \
--rpc-external \
--unsafe-rpc-external \
--rpc-methods safe \
--rpc-cors '*' \
--telemetry-url "wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0" \
--name "xode-node"

STEP 6: Make the xode-node.sh executable ​

bash
chmod +x xode-node.sh

STEP 7: Test if it runs ​

bash
./xode-node.sh

STEP 8: Create a service ​

bash
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/xode-collator.service
ini
[Unit]
Description=Xode Node
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/xode-node.sh
Restart=always
RestartSec=120
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

STEP 9: Enable the service ​

bash
sudo systemctl enable xode-collator.service

STEP 10: Start the service ​

bash
sudo systemctl start xode-collator.service

STEP 11: Wait for 30 seconds and check if the service is running ​

bash
journalctl -f -u xode-collator

STEP 12: Check the telemetry site to view your node ​
