AUUM's leader-rotation consensus is live and permissionless: stake 50+ AUUM on the Staking contract and your address becomes eligible to propose blocks, weighted by how much you've staked. No allowlist, no approval needed -- the contract itself decides.
1. Get MetaMask configured for AUUM Testnet -- Chain ID 787878, RPC https://wallet.auum.net/.
2. Get 50+ AUUM from the faucet (via the wallet page's Faucet tab, or POST /evm/faucet with your address -- rate-limited to keep it fair).
3. Stake it on the contract via the contracts page's Interact tab. Paste these in:

Contract ABI
Then call stake() with a value of 50 (or more) AUUM. You're now an active validator -- check with getValidators() or validators(yourAddress).
4. Run your own node as that validator, so it actually gets a turn to propose:
curl -fsSL https://wallet.auum.net/run-node.sh | bash -s -- --validator-address 0xYourStakedAddress
The native installers below ask for this too -- just enter your staked address when prompted instead of pressing Enter to skip. More stake means more of the rotation's slots, proportionally; this is a testnet, so treat the AUUM at stake accordingly.
A prebuilt Linux x86_64 binary, dynamically linked against glibc -- runs on a standard glibc-based distro (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.), nothing to compile. Source isn't public yet -- this is a compiled release, and it's served live from whichever node you're on: literally the binary that node is running right now, not a stale build.
Download telecanor-chain (Linux x86_64)chmod +x telecanor-chain ./telecanor-chain --p2p-port 7000 --rpc-port 8000 \ --peers 122.175.43.90:7001,144.31.146.212:7010 \ --data-dir ./data
That syncs and persists the full chain to ./data. The peer list is a starting point, not the whole mesh -- edit it freely, and add any other node addresses you're pointed at. No treasury key needed to just run and sync; that env var is only for a node hosting its own /aum/faucet.
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
--p2p-port | Port other nodes connect to you on (gossip) |
--rpc-port | HTTP API/RPC port -- wallet, explorer, light-client proofs |
--peers | Comma-separated host:port list to dial on startup, redialed automatically if a link drops |
--data-dir | Where the chain persists to disk. Omit for in-memory only (resets on restart) |
Source isn't public yet, so there's nothing published to pull -- docker run telecanor-chain:minimal on its own fails with "pull access denied". This installer builds a small local image around the same binary above and runs it, detecting Apple Silicon vs Intel and macOS vs Linux itself.
curl -fsSL https://wallet.auum.net/run-node.sh | bash
That's the whole thing -- one command, checks Docker is running, builds the image, starts the node, and confirms RPC is answering. Prefer to read the script before running it? curl -fsSL -o run-node.sh https://wallet.auum.net/run-node.sh, open it in an editor, then bash run-node.sh.
Prefer a native installer, no terminal at all?
Same logic as the one-liner above, compiled to a double-clickable app. Docker Desktop must already be installed either way.
1. Make sure Docker is actually running first:
if [ "$(uname -s)" = "Linux" ]; then sudo systemctl is-active --quiet docker || sudo systemctl start docker else open -a Docker 2>/dev/null until docker info >/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 1; done fi
2. Build the image (downloads the same binary served above, from this node):
PLATFORM_FLAGS=()
[ "$(uname -m)" = "arm64" ] && PLATFORM_FLAGS=(--platform linux/amd64)
cat > Dockerfile <<'EOF'
FROM debian:bookworm-slim
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates curl \
&& curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/telecanor-chain https://wallet.auum.net/download/telecanor-chain-linux-x86_64 \
&& chmod +x /usr/local/bin/telecanor-chain \
&& apt-get purge -y curl && apt-get autoremove -y && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/telecanor-chain"]
EOF
docker build "${PLATFORM_FLAGS[@]}" -t telecanor-chain:minimal .
3. Run it -- same flags, same behavior as the existing nodes:
PLATFORM_FLAGS=()
NET_FLAGS=(--network host)
if [ "$(uname -s)" = "Darwin" ]; then
# macOS reserves host port 7000 for its own AirPlay Receiver, so this remaps to 17000
NET_FLAGS=(-p 17000:7000 -p 8000:8000)
[ "$(uname -m)" = "arm64" ] && PLATFORM_FLAGS=(--platform linux/amd64)
fi
docker run -d --name auum-node "${NET_FLAGS[@]}" --restart unless-stopped "${PLATFORM_FLAGS[@]}" \
-v $(pwd)/data:/data \
telecanor-chain:minimal \
--p2p-port 7000 --rpc-port 8000 \
--peers 122.175.43.90:7001,144.31.146.212:7010 \
--data-dir /data
On Linux this runs exactly like the existing nodes (--network host). On macOS, Docker Desktop's networking is a Linux VM under the hood, so --network host is silently a no-op there -- the commands above publish the two ports explicitly instead, which is why the flags differ by OS.
Prefer your own base image or a different build path? Nothing here is required -- ENTRYPOINT just needs to point at a copy of that same binary.
Already have a node running? Re-run the same one-liner or double-click the same installer again -- it detects the existing container and prints a status report instead (container up, RPC responding, in sync or not) rather than reinstalling.
Don't want to run anything persistent? The light client checks one account's balance against a cryptographic Merkle proof and a hash-verified header chain, entirely in a browser tab -- no download, no sync, no storage. It trusts the node you point it at for which chain is real, but not for the specific numbers it reports.
