SEDGE

Open-source Ethereum full node deployment tool

Sedge makes installing a proof-of-stake (PoS) network node and validator easy. Perfect for Ethereum and Gnosis Chain solo stakers, and protocol and dApp developers, it reduces the risk of downtime and slashing incidents.

Interactive guided setup for solo staking

Sedge offers a streamlined, one-step node setup, including the generation or import of validator keys. It tool provides automatic client installation using the CLI wizard and creates Docker Compose scripts for the entire validator setup based on desired configuration and client choices.

You have the flexibility to deploy a range of nodes including execution, consensus, validator, and MEV-boost, either standalone or in combination, covering Ethereum and Gnosis Chain full node setup.

Get started

Automated testing for testnet developers

A hands-off setup is available, ideal for automation, scripts, and advanced users. For applications interfacing with Ethereum full-node components, we recommend integrating Sedge into your testing workflows.

The automatic generation of Docker Compose scripts ensures smooth client configuration and dependencies management, while advanced users have the flexibility to modify the scripts to suit their requirements.

Exposing an API or checkpoint sync endpoint

For those requiring an alternative to public API endpoints, Sedge offers a user-friendly and free solution compatible with the execution JSON-RPC API or the Beacon Chain HTTP API. Deploy an RPC node or Beacon Chain node API with minimal steps, relying on Sedge for node setup, randomized clients selection, and dependencies management.

Additionally, set up a node without a validator to expose a Checkpoint Sync endpoint. This enables faster sync for your consensus nodes as well as those from the community.

Supported networks

Ethereum

Deploy a single or full node, or run a validator node with mev-boost on Ethereum mainnet, and testnets Goerli and Sepolia.

GnosisChain

Run a node or stake GNO on the EVM-compatible, low-cost Gnosis Chain and Chiado testnet.

PoS networks / chains

We aim to extend support to other proof-of-stake networks and chains, and we welcome public contributions.
