rydberg-agent-node

One-command installer for ProbeChain Rydberg testnet Agent nodes.

npx rydberg-agent-node

What it does

1. Detects your OS and architecture
2. Downloads a pre-built binary (macOS arm64) or builds from source (other platforms)
3. Verifies integrity via SHA256 + optional GPG signature
4. Creates a new account with your password
5. Initializes the Rydberg testnet genesis block (Chain ID 8004)
6. Starts the node and auto-registers as an Agent node (PoB NodeType=1)

Agent nodes participate in block sync, serve RPC requests, and earn rewards from the 40% Agent reward pool.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 14.0.0
• macOS arm64: No additional requirements (pre-built binary)
• macOS x86_64 / Linux: git and go (1.19+) for source build
• Windows: Install WSL2 first (wsl --install -d Ubuntu)
