Run with systemd

Create /etc/systemd/system/exrpd.service:

[Unit]
Description=XRPL EVM Mainnet node
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
User=exrpd
Group=exrpd

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start and verify:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now exrpd
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:26657/status \
  | jq '.result.sync_info | {latest_block_height,latest_block_time,catching_up}'

For a faster bootstrap, restore a verified snapshot before the first start. Keep RPC, REST, gRPC, and EVM JSON-RPC private unless access controls and rate limits are in place.

Validator safety: keep only one active signer for each priv_validator_key.json and never roll back priv_validator_state.json.
