Automated Script for Ubuntu / Windows / MacOs users to Run aztec-network node and Get 🧑‍🎓 Apprentice Role

Aztec is building a decentralized, privacy-focused network and the sequencer node is a key part of it. Running a sequencer helps produce and propose blocks using regular consumer hardware. This guide will walk you through setting one up on the testnet.

Note : There’s no official confirmation of any rewards, airdrop, or incentives. This is purely for learning, contribution and being early in a cutting-edge privacy project.

• Ethereum Sepolia RPC - INFURA RPC , QuickNode
• Ethereum Beacon Sepolia RPC - chainstack
• Docker , nodejs , homebrew etc

• Install the required code as per your system either via git clone https://github.com/Solana0x/aztec-network.git
• or if you have curl installed then via curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Solana0x/aztec-network/main/linux.sh | bash
• For Linux/ windows and curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Solana0x/aztec-network/main/macos.sh | bash for the macos users ...
• Once installation is done then execute the script via bash macos.sh or bash linux.sh as per your system.
• Once Script starts running fill the Sepolia RPC and Beacon Sepolia RPC , evm Pvt key , public key and fund your wallet with some Sepolia testnet ETH.
• Once Script is running in other screen you just need to run this command after 10-20 Mins to get your Latest Block and proof to get the role !!

BLOCK=$(curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"node_getL2Tips","params":[],"id":67}' \
  http://localhost:8080 | jq -r ".result.proven.number")

if [[ -z "$BLOCK" || "$BLOCK" == "null" ]]; then
  echo "❌ Failed to get block number"
else
  echo "✅ Block Number: $BLOCK"
  echo "🔗 Sync Proof:"
  curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"node_getArchiveSiblingPath\",\"params\":[\"$BLOCK\",\"$BLOCK\"],\"id\":67}" \
    http://localhost:8080 | jq -r ".result"
fi 

Now copy and paste the following in Discord [Operators | Start Here] :

/operator start your-address: block-number: proof:

Just replace: your-address → your operator Ethereum address

block-number → the block number shown as ✅ Block Number

proof: → the sync proof array shown after 🔗 Sync Proof:
