Data Management

A high-level description of data management on the IOTA network that you can use to optimize your IOTA full node configuration.

Database Snapshots

Database snapshots of the IOTA network enable full node operators a way to bootstrap a full node without having to execute all the transactions that occurred after genesis.

Genesis

Genesis is the initial state of the IOTA blockchain. To launch a network, the initial committee of validators collaborate by providing their validator information (public keys, network addresses, and so on) to a shared workspace. After all of the initial validators have contributed their information, IOTA generates the initial, unsigned genesis checkpoint (checkpoint with sequence number 0) and each validator provides their signature. IOTA aggregates these signatures to form a certificate on the genesis checkpoint. IOTA bundles this checkpoint, as well as the initial objects, together into a single genesis.blob file that is used to initialize the state when running the iota-node binary for both validators and full nodes.

IOTA Archives

The archive is a historical record of all transactions on IOTA. Enable archiving on your full nodes as a best practice.

Local Development

Guide to setting up and using a local IOTA network for development and testing.

Metrics

Prometheus-based metrics for the node.

Operator Guides

Guides for operators on the IOTA network. Whether you are running a full node for your dApp or operating as a validator on the IOTA network, these guides help you set up your environment and operate your network.

Overview

Operate an IOTA Full Node to validate blockchain activities, like transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes.
