ENGINEERING / XDC INNOVATION LABS

XDC node operations reference

The Labs guide covers node sizing, snapshot restoration, endpoints and health checks. Review client compatibility, checksums and commands before operational use.

Node operator hub

Everything your XDC node needs, in one place.

Live network state, chaindata snapshots, RPC endpoints, explorers, hardware sizing and health checks — for validators, full-node operators and developers running XDC mainnet, Apothem or a devnet.

mainnet

Live via the public mainnet RPC (rpc.xinfin.network), read-only, refreshed every 12s. Falls back gracefully if the endpoint rate-limits.

Resources

⚙️

Run a node

One-command setup for a mainnet or Apothem full node — Docker or binary.

🔌

RPC endpoints

Public JSON-RPC for mainnet (50) and Apothem (51). Add to your wallet below.

🖥️

Hardware sizing

Estimate disk, RAM and cost for the node type you intend to run.

RPC endpoints & chain IDs

Connect a wallet, node or dApp. Every value is shown here — the buttons just save you the typing.

Mainnet
Chain ID 50  (0x32)
RPC: rpc.xinfin.network
Backup: erpc.xinfin.network
Explorer: xdcscan.io
Apothem testnet
Chain ID 51  (0x33)
RPC: rpc.apothem.network
Faucet: faucet.apothem.network
Explorer: testnet.xdcscan.com

Chaindata snapshots

A live, sorted view of the snapshot server — newest first. Restore from a recent snapshot instead of syncing from genesis. The -latest files always point at the freshest snapshot for that network and type.

Snapshot reference — automatic loading is disabled
Downloadable XDC chaindata snapshots by network, type, size and date
SnapshotNetworkTypeSizeUpdatedGet
Open the source snapshot directory for current files. The preserved index schema is described below.
Source: xdc.network/snapshots/ — raw directory
Restore — quick start
wget -c https://xdc.network/snapshots/xdc168-mainnet-fast-latest.tar.zst
zstd -d --long=27 xdc168-mainnet-fast-latest.tar.zst -c | tar -xf - -C /path/to/XDC/chaindata

Helper scripts on the server: install.sh · one.sh. Always verify the .sha256 after download. Full setup: /run.

Health checks

Confirm your node is live and in sync. These hit the read-only public RPC — swap in http://localhost:8989 to check your own node.

Latest block height
curl -s https://rpc.xinfin.network -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
Sync status (false = fully synced)
curl -s https://rpc.xinfin.network -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}'
Validator set & epoch (XDPoS)
curl -s https://rpc.xinfin.network -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"XDPoS_networkInformation","params":[],"id":1}'

Connecting or observing the network rather than running it? See Network & tools for the in-browser RPC console and live client-parity checks.

Snapshots and operational telemetry

Source snapshot records are loaded from an external directory at runtime; they are not embedded repository content. Open the maintained catalogue for actual files, dates, sizes and checksum files.

Open snapshot catalogue ↗

Source interfaceFields / choices
Snapshot columnsSnapshot, Network, Type, Size, Updated, Download, Checksum
Snapshot filtersAll, Mainnet, Apothem, Devnet, Latest only
Snapshot typesErigon · full, Archive (path), Archive, Snap + full, Snap (PBSS), Fast, Full, Snap, Chaindata
Telemetry fieldsLatest block, Gas price (gwei), Peers for the queried RPC, Chain ID, Validator count (response-dependent), Epoch (response-dependent)

The source sorts latest aliases before other files, then by size; that is not a reliable newest-first sort. Verify which checksum algorithm is supplied: a .md5 fallback is not SHA-256.
