Running a full node with fuegod keeps you connected to the Fuego peer-to-peer network, validates transactions, and contributes to the health of the chain. You don’t need to mine or hold XFG to run a node — it runs as a local daemon process with an interactive console you can use to inspect the blockchain, manage peers, and more.

​
Start the daemon

1

Navigate to the build output directory

After building from source, the binaries are in build/release/src on Linux/macOS or src/Release on Windows.
cd fuego/build/release/src
2

Start fuegod

Run the daemon with no arguments to connect using default settings:
./fuegod
The daemon opens an interactive console and begins syncing the blockchain from the network’s seed nodes.
3

Verify it's connecting

Once running, type status in the daemon console to check sync progress:
status
You’ll see output similar to:
FUEGO | MAINNET | syncing 123456/895000 (13.8%)
**************************************************
Network Hashrate: 12.34 kH/s, Difficulty: 5923740
Block Major version: 9, Alt Blocks: 0
Total active (unlocked) XFG :  4200000.0000000 (84%)
Total XFG locked in COLD : 800000.0000000 (16%)
Current amount of XFG in Network :  5000000.0000000 XFG
**************************************************
Initial sync can take several hours depending on your hardware and internet connection, as the daemon downloads and verifies the full chain history. Leave the node running until the height shown by status matches the network height.

​
Common startup flags

You can customize network ports and verbosity at startup: 
./fuegod --rpc-bind-port 18180 --p2p-bind-port 10808 --log-level 2
FlagDefaultDescription
--rpc-bind-port18180Port for the local RPC interface used by wallets and tools
--p2p-bind-port10808Port for peer-to-peer network connections
--log-level2Verbosity level from 0 (silent) to 4 (trace)
For a full list of available flags, run ./fuegod --help before starting the daemon.

​
Seed nodes

On first launch, fuegod connects to these hardcoded seed nodes to discover peers:
  • 3.16.217.33:10808
  • 80.89.228.157:10808
  • 207.244.247.64:10808
  • 216.145.66.224:10808

​
Daemon console commands

Once fuegod is running, you can type commands directly into its interactive console. Use help at any time to list all available commands.
