Run a Tempo Node
Run Tempo infrastructure when you need direct network access, dedicated RPC capacity, validator operations, or lower-level visibility into network behavior.
Most teams should start with running RPC and standby nodes. Validator operation requires coordination with the Tempo team and includes a separate validator failover path for backup infrastructure.
RPC Node Path
Hardware, operating system, and runtime requirements for Tempo node software.
Download, install, and prepare the Tempo node binary for supported platforms.
Configure and run nodes that serve JSON-RPC traffic or stay ready for validator failover.
Harden node operations, network exposure, key handling, and runtime configuration.
Validator Operations
Understand validator responsibilities and the operational path before onboarding.
Set up validator software and prepare to participate in coordinated network operations.
Monitor validator health, status, failover, and lifecycle operations.
Debug validator issues, common failure modes, and operational questions.
Releases
Understand how Tempo node upgrades are planned, communicated, and rolled out.
Track upgrade instructions, release notes, and node operator actions.
Review recent changes relevant to node operators and protocol users.
