animica-node

Slim, GPU-free Animica node. Run a full node and JSON-RPC endpoint — native, Bitcoin-Core-compatible, and Ethereum-compatible — with none of the torch/transformers/CUDA footprint of the full animica client.

Built for exchanges and infrastructure operators who just need to sync the chain and serve RPC for deposits, withdrawals, and balance queries.

What's different from animica

animica-node ships the same node runtime as animica (same chain, consensus, p2p, mempool, DA, VM, post-quantum crypto), just with the AI/GPU dependencies removed. Install one or the other on a box, not both (they share the same top-level runtime modules).

Install & run

pip install animica-node
animica-node            # starts a mainnet node + RPC on 127.0.0.1:8545

Or the module form (identical): python -m rpc.

Configure (environment variables)

ANIMICA_NETWORK=mainnet        # network to join
ANIMICA_DATA_DIR=/data         # data directory
ANIMICA_RPC_HOST=0.0.0.0       # bind host (0.0.0.0 to expose)
ANIMICA_RPC_PORT=8545          # bind port
ANIMICA_P2P_ENABLE=true        # join the p2p network
ANIMICA_LOG_LEVEL=INFO

JSON-RPC endpoints

POST /rpc   native:   state.* chain.* tx.* mempool.* p2p.* node.*
POST /      Bitcoin:  getblockchaininfo, getrawtransaction, sendrawtransaction, …
POST /      Ethereum: eth_chainId, eth_blockNumber, eth_getBalance, …  (chain id 149)

# native — balance for an exchange deposit address
curl -s localhost:8545/rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"state.getBalance","params":["anim1..."]}'
# Ethereum-compatible
curl -s localhost:8545/   -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_chainId","params":[]}'
# Bitcoin-compatible
curl -s localhost:8545/   -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}'
