Run a Tavchain Testnet full node to follow blocks and use your own local RPC. If you only want to connect a wallet or build an application, start with Connect to Tavchain.

Choose an installation

Docker

Recommended starting point on Linux x86-64. Pull the published image with Compose. The client and network defaults are included; no local build is required.

Native binaries

Download a ready-to-run bundle for Linux x86-64, Linux ARM64 or Windows x86-64, then initialize and start.
Both routes create a full node, not a registered validator. The testnet remains under shared administration. Read Node roles for participation details and Release compatibility for supported platforms.

Maintain your node

Monitor

Check sync, peers, block agreement and host health.

Troubleshoot

Resolve startup, connectivity and storage problems.

Upgrades and recovery

Maintain your node while preserving its identity and data.

Network reference

Find genesis, public peers, ports, authenticated downloads and source.

Other installation options

The earlier Linux x86-64 guide remains available for that client release. Its systemd guide covers background service operation. Follow those guides together; they use a different client package from the newer native binaries.

Validator participation

A full node verifies history without voting in consensus. Validator registration and active membership use native staking and delegation. The initial validators remain under shared administration. Read Node roles, Staking and the security model. For support, email support@safeney.com with your client version, public block height and sanitized error.
