running. Take a turn.

ArxNode is Arxium’s node software — the same code producing blocks on the multi-validator devnet right now. Validator rewards are a design parameter of the protocol, subject to governance.

What’s running right now

Arxium’s devnet is a real multi-validator network, not a simulation: each validator produces blocks on its round-robin turn, signs them, and gossips them to its peers over libp2p. A node that falls behind requests the gap and catches up through the same path that validates a live block.

This has been live-verified past block height 100 across two independent machines converging on an identical tip. Validators can join and leave the set on-chain, with no restart or config edit required.

The job

What a validator does

The same networking and consensus stack every devnet validator runs today.

01

Block production

Fixed-interval blocks, round-robin proposer turn-taking, every block ed25519-signed by its validator.

02

Peer discovery & gossip

libp2p gossipsub propagates actions and blocks; mDNS on a LAN, chain-spec boot nodes across networks.

03

Block & state sync

A node behind the network's tip requests the gap and replays it through the same validation path gossip uses.

04

Dynamic validator set

Join and leave are on-chain actions, not a config edit — the set is recomputed per height, so a syncing node always agrees.

05

Peer hardening

Per-peer bad-gossip banning, connection limits, and a 1 MiB gossip cap keep a misbehaving peer from costing the network anything.

06

Crash-safe storage

Block and account writes commit atomically and fsync to disk — a hard crash can't leave the tip ahead of durable state.
