How to install BNB Smart Chain full node

Install BSC Geth as a self-hosted BNB Smart Chain full node on your server. This guide covers the agent, network selection, setup, and sync.

Client

BSC Geth

RPC

Ethereum JSON-RPC (eth_* )

History

Unpruned full history. Synced from eth_syncing, not a light client.

BSC speaks Ethereum JSON-RPC but the client is BSC Geth, not upstream Geth. Toolkit pins the catalog binary, writes a high-load RPC config, and waits on eth_syncing before calling the node Synced.

Mainnet and testnet are first-class environments. Same Add node flow as Ethereum: ports, install, start, then the node page.

How to install BNB Smart Chain node

Choose mainnet, testnet in Toolkit, then follow these steps to provision and run a BNB Smart Chain full node.

  1. Install the panel and host agent using the documentation, then register the server in the panel.
  2. In Add node, select BNB Smart Chain and the required environment.
  3. Review the network options, start provisioning, and follow sync status and logs from the node page.

Operate from the panel

After the node is up you manage it in the same UI — Node Config (edit the live files and apply), client updates, restart, logs, public RPC. You do not need SSH to change conf. Install-time choices (snapshot flavor, history window, disk layout) are stored on that node.

FAQ

How do I install BNB Smart Chain full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then choose BNB Smart Chain and an environment in Add node. Toolkit provisions BSC Geth and tracks sync from the panel.
Can I change the BNB Smart Chain config later?
Yes. Node page → Node Config. Edit and apply; restart from the same page. A different snapshot or history flavor is an Install choice — changing it later usually means wipe and Add node again.
Pruned or light?
Unpruned full history. Synced from eth_syncing, not a light client.
