🏞️Environment Overview

Deploying the full stack NuChain Full Node Network requires installing and deploying a number of different components.

Each component runs in its own Docker container.

Component	Container	Brief Description
Beacon	nuchain-beacon	Fetches txs from the pool DB, checks if valid, then puts valid ones into a batch.
Outpost	nuchain-outpost	Validates sequenced batches by generating verifiable zero-knowledge proofs.
Validator	nuchain-validator	Updates the state by fetching data from Ethereum through the Etherman.
Chain Client	nuchain-daemon	A database for permanently storing state data (apart from the Merkle tree).
Co-Ordinator	nuchain-coordinator	Used by the aggregator to create zk-proofs. The full prover is extremely resource-heavy and runs on an external cloud server. Use the mock prover for evaluation/test purposes.
NuScan	nuscan	Stores txs from the RPC nodes, waiting to be put in a batch by the sequencer.
NuWallet	nuchain-wallet-web-sdk	Executes all processes. Collects results’ metadata (state root, receipts, logs)
NuEVM Bridge	nuchain-bridge-evm	Implements methods for all interactions with the L1 network and smart contracts.
Controller	nuchain-txprocessor	User-interface for bridging ERC-20 tokens between L2 and L1 or another L2.
