Operate Hathor infrastructure

Choose the component you need to run:

Full nodeFull node

A Hathor full node connects to the network, syncs the ledger, and exposes an HTTP API for your DApp, integration, or monitoring stack. Required for any production deployment.

Covers: install (Docker, Docker Compose, source code) · bootstrap with snapshot · monitoring (Prometheus + Grafana) · upgrade · troubleshoot

Headless walletHeadless wallet

The headless wallet is a programmatic, API-driven wallet service. It is the primary integration point for backend systems and required for applications that need to sign and submit transactions programmatically.

Covers: install (Docker, source code) · connect to testnet · event plugins (SQS, RabbitMQ, WebSocket, stdout)


:::tip Which one do I need?

Most production deployments need both: the full node to read the ledger and the headless wallet to sign and submit transactions. See Why do organizations need to run a full node? for the reasoning.
