Polygon node for TheGraph MIPs Program

💻 Hardware Requirements
Disk space At least 7TB NVME disks (it’s not possible to keep up to chain head with SATA SSDs).
• Heimdall: ~250 GB
• Erigon: ~5.5 TB
RAM: 64 GB minimum

Time to sync the node 3–6 weeks if synced from scratch with the Erigon built-in torrent snapshots.

ℹ️ Erigon https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon is the recommended client to run a Polygon archive node. The Polygon team has forked Erigon https://github.com/maticnetwork/erigon and will be maintaining this new version.

To sync an archive node, Erigon must be connected to a Heimdall node, the validator layer. The Polygon network has also an additional client called Bor, which is essentially a fork of Geth and is the recommended client for operators wanting to run a full node (not the case for Graph Indexers). You can read more about Heimdall, Bor and Polygon’s architecture here https://medium.com/the-polygon-blog/heimdall-and-bor-1f8f881cd6a4.

Clone Erigon and install

git clone -b v2.35.2 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon
cd erigon
make

Clone Heimdall and install

git clone -b v0.3.0 <https://github.com/maticnetwork/heimdall>
cd heimdall
make build network=mainnet

Start heimdalld and heimdallr services:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable heimdalld 
sudo systemctl enable heimdallr
sudo systemctl start heimdalld heimdallr

Checking if Heimdall is catching up:

sudo journalctl -fu heimdalld
#for logs

curl <http://localhost:26657/status>
#You should see "network": "heimdall-137" in the output, if you don’t something went wrong with the init and replacing the genesis.json file… anyway wait for it to say "catching_up": false

Starting Erigon:

#ONLY AFTER heildall caught up to the chainhead
sudo systemctl enable erigon
sudo systemctl start erigon

sudo journalctl -fu erigon
