Execution of the Ethereum node in "light mode" - a guide step by step
As a Bitcoin enthusiast, you probably know the complexity of managing several cryptocurrencies on your computer. A popular option is to run an Ethereum node as a demon, allowing you to access and manage the Ethereum blockchain without having to download and maintain the whole blockchain on your system. However, many users have reported problems with slow block downloads and frequent updates. In this article, we will explore how to execute an Ethereum node in "light mode", a technique that can considerably reduce the load on your computer.
Why light mode?
The "Light" mode is a temporary state that allows the Ethereum node to treat transactions and update the blockchain without having to download all the blocks. This approach requires additional configuration, but it offers several advantages:
* Download time of reduced blocks : With the light activated mode, you can considerably reduce the time required to download new blocks.
* Improvement of network performance : In processing of transactions in Light mode, the use of the node processor will decrease, which will result in overall network performance.
Configuration of the Ethereum node in light mode
To activate the "light mode" on your Ethereum node, follow these steps:
- Download and install the official Ethereum node software: you can download the latest version from the Official Github repository] ( Make sure to select the correct version for your system architecture.
- Configure the parameters of the Ethereum node:
* Define - Light 'flag when starting the node: this will allow the Light mode for the node.
* Define--max-gpu = 1 'to limit the use of the GPU (optional, but recommended for optimal performance).
- Start the node in light mode : launch the Ethereum node software and configure it according to your configuration.
Example of command
`bash
./NODE-Light-Max-GPU = 1
'
- Test the node : Once the node is running, check that the blockchain is updated correctly by checking the state of the network usingetherscan
or another tool of your choice.
- switch to normal mode (if necessary) : if you must quickly update the blockchain or access the more advanced features, return to normal mode by defining the
.
Advice and additional considerations
* Keep in mind that light mode is not suitable for heavy users : the node will always deal with transactions at a certain level of use of the processor.
* Consider using different portfolio software
: some wallets, such as electrum, may not work as well with the light mode activated. Make sure to explore other options and test them carefully before changing.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully configure an Ethereum node in "bright mode" and take advantage of improved performance while accessing the blockchain. If you encounter problems or if you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask!
