Juno is a golang Starknet node implementation by Nethermind with the aim of decentralising Starknet.

ℹ️ Note: If you're looking to become a Starknet Validator, you’ll also need to run a validation tool. We’ve prepared a guide with detailed instructions. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out to us.

⚙️ Installation

Prerequisites

• Golang 1.24 or higher is required to build and run the project. You can find the installer on the official Golang download page.

• Rust 1.85.1 or higher.

• A C compiler: gcc.

• Install some dependencies on your system:

  • macOS

    brew install jemalloc
    brew install pkg-config
    make install-deps
    

  • Ubuntu

    sudo apt-get install -y libjemalloc-dev libjemalloc2 pkg-config libbz2-dev
    make install-deps
    

• To ensure a successful build, you either need to synchronize the tags from the upstream repository or create a new tag.

Build and Run

make juno
./build/juno

Use the --help flag for configuration information. Flags and their values can also be placed in a .yaml file that is passed in through --config.

Run with Docker

To run Juno with Docker, use the following command. Make sure to create the $HOME/juno directory on your local machine before running the command.

docker run -d \
  --name juno \
  -p 6060:6060 \
  -v $HOME/juno:/var/lib/juno \
  nethermind/juno \
  --http \
  --http-port 6060 \
  --http-host 0.0.0.0 \
  --db-path /var/lib/juno \
  --eth-node <YOUR-ETH-NODE>

You should replace <YOUR-ETH-NODE> with your actual Ethereum node address. If you're using Infura, your Ethereum node address might look something like: wss://mainnet.infura.io/ws/v3/your-infura-project-id. Make sure you are using the websocket URL ws/wss and not the http URL http/https.

To view logs from the Docker container, use the following command:

docker logs -f juno

Run Juno Using Snapshot

1. Download Snapshot

   Fetch the snapshot from the provided URL:

   wget -O juno_mainnet.tar https://juno-snapshots.nethermind.io/files/mainnet/latest
   

2. Prepare Directory

   Ensure you have a directory at $HOME/snapshots. If it doesn't exist yet, create it:

   mkdir -p $HOME/snapshots
   

3. Extract Tarball

   Extract the contents of the .tar file:

   tar -xvf juno_mainnet.tar -C $HOME/snapshots
   

4. Run Juno

   Execute the Docker command to run Juno, ensuring that you're using the correct snapshot path $HOME/snapshots/juno_mainnet:

   docker run -d \
     --name juno \
     -p 6060:6060 \
     -v $HOME/snapshots/juno_mainnet:/var/lib/juno \
     nethermind/juno \
     --http \
     --http-port 6060 \
     --http-host 0.0.0.0 \
     --db-path /var/lib/juno \
     --eth-node <YOUR-ETH-NODE>
   

After following these steps, Juno should be up and running on your machine, utilizing the provided snapshot.

Phase 3: Starknet decentralization begins 🚧

Juno can synchronize Starknet state from other full nodes with the aim of decentralizing Starknet by removing the dependency from the centralized sequencer.

Snap sync is implemented, significantly reducing sync times.

Phase 4: Juno becomes a Starknet Sequencer 🔜

The decentralization of Starknet is complete! Juno becomes a sequencer and participates in L2 consensus to secure the network. Juno has multiple modes of operation: ‍

• Light client: provides fast permissionless access to Starknet with minimal verification.

• Full Node: complete verification of Starknet state along with transaction execution.

• Sequencer: secure the network by taking part in the L2 consensus mechanism.
