Node Operations
Welcome to the Brixs Infrastructure guide. This section is strictly for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and institutional partners looking to run Brixs nodes.
Hardware Requirements
To run a Full RPC Node successfully without falling behind consensus, you absolutely must meet the following hardware requirements:
CPU Architecture
16 Cores (Modern Architecture like AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon).
RAM
64 GB DDR5 ECC Memory for fast state caching.
Storage
2 TB NVMe SSD. Traditional HDDs will fail to sync.
Bandwidth
1 Gbps symmetric unmetered connection.
Critical Warning
Running a node on standard HDD storage or low-IOPS cloud volumes will result in severe state sync delays. You will be actively dropped from the peer-to-peer network.
Network Syncing Process
Phase 1: Engine Initialization
The first phase requires a comprehensive setup of the execution environment. The Brixs Native EVM initializes the state and establishes secure connections with the P2P network. This ensures that when the DPoS Sequencer begins proposing blocks, there are no bottlenecks in transaction ingestion.
Transactions are ordered securely by the Encrypted Mempool to prevent MEV. The Native EVM processes transactions while the ZK-SNARK Prover Engine generates validity proofs. Once processed, the Sequencer commits the block to the Ethereum L1, achieving Rollup Finality and inheriting Ethereum's cryptographic security.
