Install a node - Overview

Overview

At present there are available two LACChain ProTestnets and one Mainnet, all of them orchestrated by LACNet. If you want to do some local testing before using our networks, you can also deploy a local LACChain network using our getting started guide.

Mainnet Omega

The Mainnet Omega is the network recommended for all the initiatives in production. The Mainet Omega is membership-based. Writer nodes are required to pay a small membership to contribute to the legal and technical teams of the non-profit orquestrator LACNet. The Mainnet ensures resilience and accountability via Service Level Agreements called Adscription Contracts between LACNet and any entity operating a node in the Mainnet Omega LACChain Network. In order to deploy a nodes and them it permissioned in the Mainnet Omega, you need to follow these steps:

Fill in the registration form on the website
A focal point from LACNet will contact you via email
Verify information with the focal point
Sign the Adscription Contract that will also be shared with you by the focal point
Make the payment of the membership as indicated by the focal point
Deploy the node (using Ansible or using Kubernetes) and make sure you select the Mainnet Omega during the deployment process
Log into the customer/ticket portal you will be provided access to and register the node identifier (enode) and the node address through following indications provided by the focal point.

In case of any doubt, do not hesitate to write an email to [email protected].

Open ProTestnet

The LACChain Open ProTestnet is the network recommended for testing a solution before jumping into the Mainnet Omega. The Open ProTestnet is totally free, with no membership or transaction fees involved. Steps for an entity to deploy a node and get it permissioned in the Open ProTestnet, you need to follow these steps:

Read, understand and agree with the Terms and Conditions for Writer Nodes for LACChain ProTestnets that includes the Privacy Policy.
Fill the Agreement Form and send it signed to [email protected] and [email protected] (as a PDF).
Deploy the node (using Ansible, using Docker, or using Kubernetes) and make sure you select the make sure you select the Open ProTestnet during the deployment process. After deploying the node, send to [email protected] and [email protected] the enode identifier you get at the end of the process so we can proceed to permission your node.

As a network intending for testing purposes, the ProTestnet does not provides the guarantees that the Mainnet does for initiatives that are registering data in production in the network. In case of any doubt, do not hesitate to write an email to [email protected].

Legacy ProTestnet (DEPRECATED)

This network was deprecated in October 7th, 2022. Those entities that were already using this network will be able to continue using it with the support of LACNet.
