Elysium Node

Golang implementation of Elysium's data availability node types (light | full | bridge).

The elysium-node types described above comprise the elysium data availability (DA) network.

The DA network wraps the elysium-core consensus network by listening for blocks from the consensus network and making them digestible for data availability sampling (DAS).

Continue reading here if you want to learn more about DAS and how it enables secure and scalable access to Elysium chain data.

API docs

Elysium-node public API is documented here.

Node types

• Bridge nodes - relay blocks from the elysium consensus network to the elysium data availability (DA) network
• Full nodes - fully reconstruct and store blocks by sampling the DA network for shares
• Light nodes - verify the availability of block data by sampling the DA network for shares

More information can be found here.

Run a node

<node_type> can be bridge, full or light.
