WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR TECHNOLOGY?
Alastria partners have two operational networks (Network T and Network B) on which nodes can be deployed (either regular nodes or critical: validators and bootnodes). The requirements to install a node in any of these networks is, first, to be a member and, second, to accept the Government Policies and Good use of the nodes, which you can find below.
But let us first tell you something more about these networks. Next, you’ll find out how we work on the platform and see how to help us develop it.
The first of Alastria’s partner node networks (Red T) is built on Quorum technology. The second of the networks (Network B) is built on Hyperledger Besu.
Alastria partners have defined that we are an “agnostic” blockchain platform (we do not trust our development to a single platform), so we have started work on creating another type of network based on HyperLedger Fabric (from The Linux Foundation) on how to interconnect the three networks and with other networks in the future.
Are you a developer?
Alastria is under continuous construction. Discover how our platforms work and how you can work on them. It contributes to the improvement of our network by providing nodes, developing apps, etc.

Installation tutorials
It’s time to begin!
Minimum system requirements
- CPUs: 2 cores (4 cores recommended)
- Memory: 4 GB (8 GB recommended)
- Hard drive: 100 GB SSD (1 TB recommended)
- Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS7.4 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 always 64 bits
It is necessary to enable the following network ports on the machine where we are going to deploy the RedT node:
- 8443: TCP - Monitoring Port
- 9000: TCP - Constellation Port (private transactions)
- 21000: TCP/UDP - Geth Process Application Port
- 22000: TCP - RPC Communication Port (this port is used for applications that communicate with Alastria and can be filtered towards the internet)
- 80 and 443 TCP - Port to establish RPC communication if Alastria Open Access is installed (these ports are used for applications that communicate with Alastria and are filtered towards the internet)
Minimum requirements of a Red B Alastria node
- CPUs: 2 cores (4 cores recommended)
- Memory: 4 GB (8 GB recommended)
- Hard drive: 100 GB SSD (1 TB recommended)
- Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04 LTS 64 bits
It is necessary to enable the following network ports on the machine where we are going to deploy the RedB node:
- 9090: TCP - Prometheus monitoring tool port
- 8546: TCP - RPC/WS Ethstats client port
- 8545: TCP - RPC HTTP port only for Regular nodes (optional - internal only)
- 8080: TCP - Orion Communication port (private transactions)
- 30303: TCP/UDP - Ethereum Client listener and discovering port

Governance Policies
Once the node is installed it is necessary to know and accept the Government Policies defined by the partners in Alastria in order to proceed to the incorporation of a node in the networks and start using it. Get to know them!
