Testing operator components locally? Solo runs a full Hedera stack — consensus node, mirror node, JSON-RPC relay, and block explorer — in a single Kubernetes deployment. Use it to validate mirror node configuration, relay setup, and importer behavior against a local network before connecting to testnet or mainnet.

​
Mirror node operators

Mirror nodes stream consensus events from the network and serve them via REST, gRPC, and Web3 APIs.

Architecture
Importer, REST API, gRPC, Web3: how the mirror node components fit together.
Overview
One-Click Deploy
Spin up a mirror node in minutes using the official Helm chart.

​
JSON-RPC relay operators

The relay translates Ethereum JSON-RPC requests into Hedera transactions and queries.

Setup
Install and run the relay: local, Docker, or container orchestrator.
Configuration
Tune chain ID, mirror node URL, networks, rate limits, and caching.

​
Consensus node operators

Run a network node: gossip, virtual voting, and the live state of every Hedera service.

Deployment
Step-by-step procedure for bringing a consensus node online.
