Install dependencies
Ensure you have the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y \ clang \ protobuf-compiler \ build-essential
Install Rust:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s
Clone the Madara repository:
cd <your-destination-path> git clone https://github.com/madara-alliance/madara .
-
Run Madara
Start the Madara client with synchronization to Starknet mainnet:
cargo run --release -- \ --name madara \ --base-path ../madara-db \ --network main \ --l1-endpoint ${ETHEREUM_API_URL} \
1 Run docker image
To run Madara with Docker, use the following command:
docker run -d \
--name madara \
-p 9944:9944 \
-v /var/lib/madara:/var/lib/madara \
madara:latest \
--base-path ./madara-db \
--network main \
--rpc-external \
--rpc-cors all \
--preset mainnet \
--l1-endpoint <rpc key>
Check the logs of the running Madara service:
docker logs -f madara
-
Ensure environment variable
Set the necessary environment variable:
export L1_ENDPOINT="your-ethereum-api-url"
Or create a
.env
file in the same directory as yourdocker-compose.yml
file:L1_ENDPOINT=your-ethereum-api-url
-
Build and Run the Container
Navigate to the directory with your
docker-compose.yml
file and run one of the following commands:-
Mainnet:
docker-compose --profile mainnet up -d
-
Testnet:
docker-compose --profile testnet up -d
Check the logs of the running Madara service:
docker-compose logs -f madara
-
Configuring your Madara node properly ensures it meets your specific needs
Here are the recommended options for a quick and simple configuration of your Madara full node:
--name <NAME>
: The human-readable name for this node. It's used as the network node name.--base-path <PATH>
: Set the directory for Starknet data (default is/tmp/madara
).--network <NETWORK>
: The network type to connect to (main
,test
, orintegration
).--l1-endpoint <URL>
: Specify the Layer 1 endpoint the node will verify its state from.--rpc-port <PORT>
: Specify the JSON-RPC server TCP port.--rpc-cors <ORIGINS>
: Specify browser origins allowed to access the HTTP & WS RPC servers.--rpc-external
: Listen to all RPC interfaces. Default is local.--snap <BLOCK_NUMBER>
: Start syncing from the closest snapshot available for the desired block (default is highest).
Here are more advanced command-line options, organized by namespace, for running and development purposes:
Network
-n, --network <NETWORK>
: The network type to connect to (default:integration
).--port <PORT>
: Set the network listening port.--l1-endpoint <URL>
: Specify the Layer 1 endpoint the node will verify its state from.--gateway-key <GATEWAY_KEY>
: Gateway API key to avoid rate limiting (optional).--sync-polling-interval <SECONDS>
: Polling interval in seconds (default: 2).--no-sync-polling
: Stop sync polling.--n-blocks-to-sync <NUMBER>
: Number of blocks to sync.--starting-block <BLOCK>
: The block to start syncing from (make sure to set--disable-root
).
RPC
--rpc-external
: Listen to all RPC interfaces. Note: not all RPC methods are safe to be exposed publicly. Use an RPC proxy server to filter out dangerous methods.--rpc-methods <METHOD_SET>
: RPC methods to expose (auto
,safe
,unsafe
).--rpc-max-request-size <SIZE>
: Set the maximum RPC request payload size in megabytes (default: 15).--rpc-max-response-size <SIZE>
: Set the maximum RPC response payload size in megabytes (default: 15).--rpc-max-subscriptions-per-connection <NUMBER>
: Set the maximum concurrent subscriptions per connection (default: 1024).--rpc-port <PORT>
: Specify JSON-RPC server TCP port.--rpc-max-connections <NUMBER>
: Maximum number of RPC server connections (default: 100).--rpc-cors <ORIGINS>
: Specify browser origins allowed to access the HTTP & WS RPC servers.
Database
--base-path <PATH>
: Specify custom base path (default:/tmp/madara
).--snap <BLOCK_NUMBER>
: Start syncing from the closest snapshot available for the desired block.--tmp
: Run a temporary node. A temporary directory will be created and deleted at the end of the process.--cache
: Enable caching of blocks and transactions to improve response times.--db-cache <MiB>
: Limit the memory the database cache can use.--trie-cache-size <Bytes>
: Specify the state cache size (default: 67108864).--backup-every-n-blocks <NUMBER>
: Specify the number of blocks after which a backup should be created.--backup-dir <DIR>
: Specify the directory where backups should be stored.--restore-from-latest-backup
: Restore the database from the latest backup available.
ℹ️ Info: Note that not all parameters may be referenced here. Please refer to the
cargo run -- --help
command for the full list of parameters.
Snapshots are under developpement and will be available through the --snap <block_number>
parameter.

ℹ️ Info: Madara currently supports latest JSON-RPC specs specs up to version v0.7.1
Here is an example of how to call a JSON-RPC method using Madara:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "starknet_getBlockWithTxHashes",
"params": {
"block_id": "latest"
},
"id": 1
}
You can use any JSON-RPC client to interact with the Madara node, such as curl
, httpie
,
or a custom client in your preferred programming language.
For more detailed information and examples on each method, please refer to the Starknet JSON-RPC specs.
⚠️ Warning: Write methods are forwarded to the Sequencer for execution. Ensure you handle errors appropriately as per the JSON-RPC schema.
