Run a Keeper How to Run a Keeper node in the Ocean network.

The Ocean Protocol v0.9 (Trilobite) Testnet is an Ethereum Proof-of-Authority (PoA) network where all the nodes (Keeper nodes) are running Parity Ethereum. There are two kinds of Keeper nodes in the Trilobite Testnet: authority nodes (voting nodes) and user nodes (non-voting nodes).

Authority nodes have a say in determining which transactions are valid. In the Trilobite Testnet, the authority nodes are run by BigchainDB GmbH and its partners.

Anyone can run a user node. It will stay in sync with the other nodes in the Trilobite Testnet, it just won't have a say on whether transactions are valid. Marketplaces and publishers should run user nodes. See the pages for marketplaces and publishers.
