Run Full Ethereum Node With TX Pool Monitoring in Javascript

Get insights on blockchain transactions using Javascript before they happen by running your own full node for Ethereum

What you'll learn
Run your own full node on Ethereum
Run your own full node on Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
Access your own blockchain node remotely using NGINX
See user trades and transactions before they occur on the blockchain
Understand how the blockchain works and what it means to run a full node
Receive unlimited API calls and listen to events for blockchain crypto transactions
Simulate the blockchain and test transactions using HardHat
Requirements
Know what a crypto currency is (in particular Ethereum or BNB)
Have some basic programming experience in JavaScript or TypeScript
Description
Running your own blockchain node has a number of key advantages including:

- Unlimited API requests to the blockchain
- Speed of information flow versus API provider alternatives
- Breadth of information flow on pending transactions
- Supporting the blockchain
- Financial decentralised trading and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value)
However, running your own full node can be a daunting task. If you don't have a Linux OS distribution at home with plenty of SSD, Ram and reliable Networking speeds, it can cost hundreds of dollars per month to rent just the hardware alone in getting your node up and running. In this course, we bypass all the headaches.
If you have the equipment and reliable broadband speeds at home already, running a full will cost you nothing. I personally do not, so I opted to rent the hardware purely for making this course.
Inside you will gain an understanding of:
1) What is a blockchain and what does it really mean to run an Ethereum node
2) What are the typical modules that make up a blockchain node
3) How are transactions validated and what are pending transactions
4) How to get a full node up and running within 2 days on Ethereum
5) What code allows you to quickly and easily decode transactions on the blockchain
The course at the time of making, does not cover how to run a Binance Smart Chain (or BNB Chain) full node. The reason for this is because it is simply too expensive to make it worth your while.
If you have basic programming experience and have been looking to run your own full node but are tired of the headaches that come with it, then this will be a great course for you.
See you in class!
