Node-to-Client

The Node-to-Client (N2C) source uses Ouroboros mini-protocols to connect to a local Cardano node through a unix socket bearer and fetches block data using the ChainSync mini-protocol instantiated to "full blocks".

Configuration

The following snippet shows an example of how to set up a typical N2C source:

[source]
type = "N2C"
socket_path = "<socket location>"

Section source:

  • type: this field must be set to the literal value N2C.
  • socket_path: the location of the socket file.

Examples

Connecting to a local Cardano node through unix sockets:

[source]
type = "N2C"
socket_path = "/opt/cardano/cnode/sockets/node0.socket"
