This guide will help you find your CKB Node ID when your CKB node or Neuron is up and running. You will need to open a new terminal window to interact with your node without disrupting its operation.
In a new Terminal (on MacOS/Linux) or Command Prompt (on Windows) window, send an RPC request to your node to retrieve its ID. This ID uniquely identifies your node in the network.
Note: If you have changed the default RPC address
http://localhost:8114/in your CKB node configuration, make sure to replace it in the commands above.
After sending the request, the terminal will display a response containing detailed information about your CKB node.
The response should look something like this:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": {
"active": true,
"addresses": [
{
"address": "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8115",
"score": "0x1"
}
],
"connections": "0x8",
"node_id": "**QmdRWNKZ8EVJxhrDusbyYoYaGCQdStB4fSDotis7czUs**",
"protocols": [
//...
],
"version": "0.110.0 (0679b11 2023-05-16)"
},
"id": 2
}
In this response, the node_id field provides your Node ID. In this example, the Node ID is QmdRWNKZ8EVJxhrDusbyYoYaGCQdStB4fSDotis7czUs. You can either note down the Node ID or keep the entire output.
Once you have your Node ID, **EMAIL** it to us ****at [email protected] along with any relevant details about your router setup 😉.
