Build from Source
Requires Rust 1.87+:
git clone https://github.com/clawlabz/claw-network.git
cd claw-network/claw-node
cargo build --release
# Binary at target/release/claw-node
Initialize
claw-node init --network testnet
This creates ~/.clawnetwork/ with your Ed25519 keypair and configuration.
Start
claw-node start
Your node will:
- Connect to bootstrap peers via P2P
- Sync blocks from the network
- Start the JSON-RPC server on port 9710
Verify
Check that your node is running:
curl http://localhost:9710/health
Expected response:
{
"status": "ok",
"version": "0.1.4",
"height": 1234,
"peer_count": 2,
"mempool_size": 0
}
