Bitcoin Testnet4

Citrea uses Bitcoin Testnet4 as a DA layer for its testnet. Thus, it is necessary to have a syncing Bitcoin Testnet4 node to run a Citrea Full Node.

In this section, we provide you two ways to run a Testnet4 node (Bitcoin v28.0rc1).

• Method 1 (Docker)

  • Easier to setup but less configurable

• Method 2 (Source)

  • Harder to setup but more configurable

Once you're done syncing your Bitcoin node, you can proceed to run a Citrea Full Node here.
