Usage & Installation

Three software projects comprise Old Faithful:

  • Faithful, used for running the RPC server and creating the necessary indexes for the RPC server

  • Radiance, used for processing warehouse nodes’ ledger archives and producing CAR files

  • PoH check car, used for validating PoH of Old Faithful car files.

You can also interact with Old Faithful through standard Filecoin tooling like Lassie.

You only need the Faithful CLI if you are interested in working with the Faithful dataset and retrieving data.

Building and installing Faithful

Basic installation of faithful can be done by downloading the repository and building it (requires Golang >1.20):

$ git clone https://github.com/rpcpool/yellowstone-faithful.git
$ make

There are also binary builds for Linux available at https://github.com/rpcpool/yellowstone-faithful/releases.

If you want jsonParsed support in the RPC server, you need to run:

$ make jsonParsed-linux

Building and installing Radiance

You will need to build Radiance with RocksDB support following the guide here:
