Network Configuration Files​

Download official configuration files from the Transparency & Addresses page:

  • genesis.json (Execution layer)
  • genesis.ssz (Consensus layer)
  • config.yaml (Network configuration)

Always verify checksums before using configuration files.

Bootnodes​

Bootnode addresses for peer discovery will be published on the Transparency & Addresses page at network launch.

Monitoring and Metrics​

Key Metrics to Monitor​

For Node Operators:

  • Sync status (execution & consensus)
  • Peer count (aim for 50+ peers)
  • Disk usage (plan for growth)
  • Memory usage (16-32 GB required)
  • CPU usage (especially during sync)

For Validators:

  • Attestation inclusion rate (aim for >99%)
  • Block proposal success rate
  • Validator balance (should grow over time)
  • Slashing events (should be zero)
  • Uptime (aim for 99%+)

Network Health Indicators​

Check current network health at: https://inceptionchain.io/status

Key Indicators:

  • Finality: Should be continuous (<2 epochs)
  • Participation Rate: Should be >80%
  • Active Validators: Growing steadily
  • Network TPS: Within expected ranges
  • Base Fee: Stable or predictable

Developer Resources​

For developers building on Inception:

  • RPC Documentation: Standard Ethereum JSON-RPC
  • Chain ID: 1805 (0x70D hex)
  • EVM Version: Shanghai-equivalent
  • Supported EIPs: EIP-1559, EIP-2930, and standard Ethereum EIPs

See Developers page for complete development guide.

Validator Resources​

For validators running nodes:
