Node Configuration

Apart from a few options like block time, epoch length, and slot length which are provided through Yaci CLI, other devnet node-related configurations can be configured through the node.properties file. The configurations defined in the node.properties file will be used during devnet node creation.

For zip based installation, this file is located under installation directory config/node.properties.

For curl based installation, this file is located under $HOME/.yaci-devkit/config/node.properties.

Please refer to the config/node.properties file for all the node specific configurations.

Example of few key configurations:

securityParam

To set the security parameter for the node. Default value is 300. (300 blocks)

To change the configuration, add to the node.properties file

securityParam=<int value>

Note: If you want to stop your node for some time and restart it later without a reset, allowing it to continue from where it left off and use existing data, you may want to set securityParam to a higher value. Otherwise, the node may get stuck and you need to reset the node.

Let's say you want to stop your node and start the node again next day to continue from where it left off, then you can set securityParam to a higher values like 86400 for 1 sec block time.

peerSharing

To enable or disable peer sharing. Default value is true.

slotsPerKESPeriod

To set the number of slots per KES period. Default value is 129600.

maxKESEvolutions

To set the maximum KES evolutions. Default value is 60.

Note: More configurations can be found in node.properties file.
