EASYBTX NODE · GUIDE

Run a BTX node in 5 steps

No terminal, no config files. If you can install an app, you can run a full node.

1. 1

   Download and open

   Grab BTX Node for Mac (Apple Silicon), open the .dmg and drag the app to Applications. The first time, right-click the app and choose Open — macOS asks once because the build is community-signed.

2. 2

   Click "Set up my node"

   The app checks your free disk space first (the full chain needs about 105 GB) and tells you before it starts, not after. One click begins the setup.

   
3. 3

   Watch it come alive

   The app downloads a checksum-verified snapshot of the blockchain (~450 MB), starts your node, and loads the snapshot. Your node is usable in minutes; the full history keeps filling in quietly in the background.

   
4. 4

   Green means helping

   When the orb turns green, your node is live: verifying blocks, relaying to peers, holding its own copy of the chain. The frequency line under the orb plays a gentle note each time a new block arrives.

   
5. 5

   Let it live in the corner

   Close the window — the node keeps running in your menu bar. Or press the compact button and keep just the little light on your desktop. Settings has two looks (a calm line or an energy pulse), launch-at-login, keep-awake, four colors, and one-click disk reclaim. Stop anytime; nothing is locked in.
