Public Nodes

Full Node

There is no network value nor rewards for running nodes on Turbulence Test Network. However you are welcome to run a node and join the network, to try things out, prepare for our canary network (Reynold) and mainnet, or just for the love of it.

Using Docker

If you have docker installed, you can use it to start your node without needing to build from the code. Here is the command

docker run -p 9933:9933 -p 9944:9944 --rm laminar/laminar-node:latest --ws-external --rpc-external --chain=turbulence --rpc-cors=all

5. Click Export of the newly created account and keep it in a safe place
6. To copy the address, just click on the icon of the account

Using Polkadot UI
