Usage

Installing the Block Producer

The Block Producer can be installed and run as part of Miden node. But if you intend on running the Block Producer as a separate process, you will need to install and run it as follows:

# Installs `miden-node-block-producer` executable
cargo install --path block-producer

Running the Block Producer

To run the Block Producer you will need to provide a configuration file. We have an example config file in block-producer-example.toml.

Then, to run the Block Producer:

miden-node-block-producer serve --config <path-to-block-producer-config-file>

The Block Producer serves connections using the gRPC protocol on a port, set in the previously mentioned configuration file. Here is a brief description of supported methods.
