Run a Nyx RPC Node for the Nym Network Set up and run a dedicated RPC node for the Nyx blockchain. Query network state, serve chain data, and interact with Nym smart contracts programmatically. HowTo Developers 2026-02-01

RPC Nodes

RPC Nodes (which might otherwise be referred to as 'Lite Nodes' or just 'Full Nodes') differ from Validators in that they hold a copy of the Nyx blockchain, but do not participate in consensus / block-production.

You may want to set up an RPC Node for querying the blockchain, or in order to have an endpoint that your app can use to send transactions.

In order to set up an RPC Node, simply follow the instructions to set up a Validator, but exclude the nyxd tx staking create-validator command.

If you want to fast-sync your node, check out the Polkachu snapshot and their other resources.
