Mina node configuration and runtime options

This struct defines all available command-line parameters for running a Mina node. The node can operate in different modes (basic node, block producer, archive node) depending on the parameters provided.

Basic Usage

# Run a basic node on devnet
mina node --network devnet

# Run with custom ports and logging
mina node --network devnet --port 3001 --libp2p-port 8303 --verbosity debug

Block Producer Mode

# Run as block producer
mina node --network devnet --producer-key /path/to/key --coinbase-receiver B62q...

Archive Node Mode

# Run as archive node with local storage
mina node --network devnet --archive-local-storage

Fields

work_dir: String

Working directory for node data, logs, and configuration files

Can be set via MINA_HOME environment variable. Defaults to ~/.mina

p2p_secret_key: Option<SecretKey>

P2P networking secret key for node identity

If not provided, a new key will be generated automatically. Can be set via MINA_P2P_SEC_KEY environment variable.

libp2p_keypair: Option<String>

Compatibility with OCaml Mina node

libp2p_password: Option<String>

Compatibility with OCaml Mina node

libp2p_external_ip: Vec<String>

List of external addresses at which this node is accessible

port: u16

HTTP server port for RPC API and web interface

The node will serve its HTTP API and dashboard on this port. Default: 3000

libp2p_port: u16

LibP2P networking port for peer-to-peer communication

This port is used for connecting to other nodes in the network. Default: 8302

verbosity: Level

Logging verbosity level

Controls the amount of logging output. Options in order of verbosity:

• error: Only show errors
• warn: Show warnings and errors
• info: Show informational messages, warnings, and errors (default)
• debug: Show debug information and all above
• trace: Show all possible logging output

disable_filesystem_logging: bool

Disable filesystem logging

log_path: String

Specify custom path for log files

peers: Vec<P2pConnectionOutgoingInitOpts>

Initial peers to connect to on startup

Specify peer multiaddresses to connect to when the node starts. Can be used multiple times to add multiple peers.

Multiaddr Format

Multiaddresses follow the format: /protocol/address/protocol/port/protocol/peer_id

IPv4 Example:

/ip4/192.168.1.100/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooWABCDEF1234567890abcdef...

IPv6 Example:

/ip6/2001:db8::1/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooWABCDEF1234567890abcdef...

DNS Example:

/dns4/node.example.com/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooWABCDEF1234567890abcdef...

Where:

• ip4/ip6/dns4 specifies the address type
• IP address or hostname
• tcp protocol with port number (typically 8302 for Mina)
• p2p protocol with the peer’s public key identifier

peer_list_file: Option<PathBuf>

File containing initial peers to connect to

Each line should contain a peer’s multiaddr following the format described above.

Example file content:

/ip4/192.168.1.100/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooWABCDEF1234567890abcdef...
/ip4/10.0.0.50/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooWXYZ9876543210fedcba...
/dns4/bootstrap.example.com/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooW123ABC...

Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored.

peer_list_url: Option<Url>

URL to fetch initial peers list from

The URL should return a text file with one peer multiaddr per line, using the same format as described in peer_list_file. Useful for dynamic peer discovery from a central bootstrap service.

Example URL response:

/ip4/bootstrap1.example.com/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooW...
/ip4/bootstrap2.example.com/tcp/8302/p2p/12D3KooX...

max_peers: usize

Maximum number of peer connections to maintain

The node will attempt to maintain up to this many connections to other peers in the network. Default: 100

seed: bool

Run the node in seed mode. No default peers will be added.

run_snarker: Option<AccountSecretKey>

Run Snark Worker.

Pass snarker private key as an argument.

snarker_fee: u64

Snark fee, in Mina

snarker_strategy: SnarkerStrategy

producer_key: Option<PathBuf>

Enable block producer with this key file

MINA_PRIVKEY_PASS must be set to decrypt the keyfile if it is password-protected

producer_key_password: String

Password used to decrypt the producer key file.

coinbase_receiver: Option<AccountPublicKey>

Address to send coinbase rewards to (if this node is producing blocks). If not provided, coinbase rewards will be sent to the producer of a block.

Warning: If the key is from a zkApp account, the account’s receive permission must be None.

record: String

no_peers_discovery: bool

Do not use peers discovery.

config: Option<PathBuf>

Config JSON file to load at startup.

archive_local_storage: bool

Enable local precomputed storage.

This option requires the following environment variables to be set:

• MINA_ARCHIVE_LOCAL_STORAGE_PATH (otherwise the path to the working directory will be used)

archive_archiver_process: bool

Enable archiver process.

This requires the following environment variables to be set:

• MINA_ARCHIVE_ADDRESS

archive_gcp_storage: bool

Enable GCP precomputed storage.

This requires the following environment variables to be set:

• GCP_CREDENTIALS_JSON
• GCP_BUCKET_NAME

archive_aws_storage: bool

Enable AWS precomputed storage.

This requires the following environment variables to be set:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
• MINA_AWS_BUCKET_NAME

rng_seed: Option<String>
