Krypton L1Operator documentation

A sovereign EVM Layer-1 (beacon-kit + bera-reth, instant BFT finality). Install, deploy, and operate every node type.

Quick start

Choose a node type

Architecture

Validator

Sign blocks with threshold (Horcrux) key security. Install → deploy → operate.

RPC / full node (L5)

Serve eth_getProof to edge & light clients; the public-RPC + indexer fleet.

Seed / bootnode

Peer discovery for the network. The smallest, cheapest role.

Edge node

A verifying light client — trust-minimized, not a full node. Turnkey on a Raspberry Pi; runs on other hardware too.

Block explorer

Blockscout at kryscan.com, with Caddy auto-TLS.

Monitoring

Prometheus + Grafana wired to the EL/CL metrics.

What this is

Operator docs for Krypton, a sovereign EVM-compatible Layer-1: Berachain's beacon-kit (CometBFT consensus, instant single-slot finality) driving bera-reth (Reth/revm execution) over the Engine API, with an app-layer staking / governance / slashing / reward suite. These pages cover how to install, deploy, and operate each node type on AWS or baremetal, plus the supporting services (explorer, monitoring, key management, secrets).

Networks. Testnet 473374 is the public network these guides target. Mainnet 47337 reuses the same artifacts and is gated on an external audit + a clean testnet soak. See Networks & chain IDs.
