Download & Install the Xone Chain Full Node Binary and Configuration

1. Prerequisites

A Linux server (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended)
wget and unzip installed
sudo privileges

2. Download the Latest Binary and Config Bundle

# Change to a temporary directory
cd /tmp
 
# Download the latest Xone Chain node binary
VERSION=$(curl -s https://xone-mainnet-files.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/latest-version.txt)
wget -O xoned-${VERSION}-linux-amd64 https://xone-mainnet-files.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/xoned-${VERSION}-linux-amd64
 
# Download the official configuration template
wget https://xone-mainnet-files.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/config.zip

Tip: Optionally verify the SHA256 checksum to ensure the files haven’t been tampered with.

3. Install the Binary

# Rename the executable
# NOTE: Replace the version number below (v1.0.1) with the actual version you just downloaded.
# For example, if you downloaded xoned-v1.0.3-linux-amd64, run:
# mv xoned-v1.0.3-linux-amd64 xoned
mv xoned-v1.0.1-linux-amd64 xoned
 
# Make it executable
chmod +x xoned
 
# Move it into your system’s PATH
sudo mv xoned /usr/bin/xoned

4. Initialize the Data Directory

# Initialize your node’s data directory (defaults to ~/.xone)
xoned init mynode --chain-id xone_3721-1

mynode can be replaced with your preferred directory name
This creates a ~/.xone folder in your home directory. If you want to specify a custom directory, add the --home flag after the xoned init command.

5. Apply the Official Configuration

# Unzip the config bundle
unzip config.zip -d ./config
 
# Backup your existing config (in case you need to revert)
cp -r ~/.xone/config ~/.xone/config.bak
 
# Overwrite genesis.json, config.toml, and app.toml
cp config/genesis.json  ~/.xone/config/genesis.json
cp config/config.toml   ~/.xone/config/config.toml
cp config/app.toml      ~/.xone/config/app.toml

Note

Ensure ~/.xone/config contains only the official or intentionally customized files—remove any extras.

If you need to tweak settings (RPC ports, firewall rules, etc.), edit the files under config/ first, then copy them over.

6. Sync to the Latest Progress Using Snapshots

In the current version, syncing must be done through a snapshot to ensure quick and accurate synchronization to the latest node state. For detailed instructions, please refer to Using Snapshots.

7. Wait for Snapshot Restoration to Complete Before Starting the Node

After the snapshot restoration is complete, you can proceed to start the node and begin syncing with the blockchain network.

# Launch the node (use systemd or tmux/screen for background operation)
xoned start --home ~/.xone

8. Verify Sync Status

# Check sync info (latest block height, catching up status)
xoned status --home ~/.xone --node http://127.0.0.1:26657 | jq .SyncInfo
