Taiyi Components

The Taiyi system requires several components working together:

Pre-deployed Components (No Setup Required)

Note: These components are already deployed on Holesky and managed by the Luban team

  • Taiyi Block Builder: Customizes block building to provide preconfirmations and proposer/builder coordination. Source
  • Taiyi Relay: Custom relay service based on Helix, operated by Luban team for block relay and distribution. Source

​
On-chain Components

As of 2025-01-01, no Holesky ETH is required to participate in the testnet. The protocol is in testing phase and only requires registration by calling the necessary smart contract functions.

See the Protocol Opt-in for detailed steps on how to register as an operator.

Now that you’ve confirmed your system meets all requirements, proceed to the Installation and Configuration Guide where you’ll:

  1. Set up Docker and required dependencies
  2. Configure your execution and consensus clients
  3. Install and configure the Taiyi components
  4. Prepare your environment for protocol registration
