Flexible deployment
Run it where it works for you.
Use Linux, macOS, or Windows on ordinary hardware. The Bigfoot-provided container is the recommended way to deploy, and the included CLI lets you configure the node for your environment.
Run a Bigfoot node
Add your capacity
to Bigfoot.
Run a Bigfoot node on Linux, macOS, or Windows. No special hardware required.
One unified network
Every node strengthens the same Bigfoot network.
Nodes contribute resources to store and process Bigfoot protocol transactions. Adding a node expands shared capacity rather than creating a separate instance.
Configurable resources
You choose the resources. The protocol coordinates the work.
Set the capacity and network access you want to make available. The protocol determines which accepted data and operations use those resources, keeping every node part of the same network.
Availability
Run when you can. Build reputation by staying available.
A node does not have to remain online continuously. Running 24/7 is ideal because dependable availability strengthens its reputation and makes it more useful to the network.
Earn through use
Useful service can earn BFT.
When people use eligible services your node provides and the network accepts the work, that contribution can earn BFT.
What you need
Start with the hardware you already have.
- 01Linux, macOS, or Windows.
- 02The Bigfoot container for the recommended deployment.
- 03A network connection; public reachability is preferred.
- 04The capacity and availability you choose to contribute.
One protocol. One network.
More nodes make one
network stronger.
Every node follows the same protocol and adds capacity to the same shared network. Bigfoot is unified rather than federated: node operators contribute resources without creating separate instances or choosing a different set of accepted operations.
Node early access
Run Bigfoot early.
Node software is entering early access alongside Bigfoot Browser. Choose the desktop platform where you plan to run it.
