Aztec Node

The Aztec Node implements a sequencer node in the network, and is currently meant to be used for local development and testing. The Node is the entrypoint for creating and starting a new Sequencer client with default components (a local P2P client, an in-memory merkle tree database, etc).

The Node also exposes methods that are consumed by the client (see aztec-rpc), such as querying network info or submitting a transaction. As Aztec evolves beyond local development, these methods will be accessible via a JSON-RPC API or similar. Refer to the end-to-end tests for examples on how to initialize an Aztec Node and use it along with an RPC client.

Development

Start by running bootstrap.sh in the project root.

To build the package, run yarn build in the root.

To watch for changes, yarn build:dev.

To run the tests, execute yarn test.
