Frequently asked questions

What networks does Besu support?

Besu supports both public and private networks. For public networks, Besu serves as an execution client on Ethereum Mainnet, Goerli, and Sepolia. It can also be used with proof of work on Ethereum Classic (ETC).

What tools can I use for smart contract development with Besu?

Besu supports smart contract development with tools such as Truffle, Remix, and web3js. These tools can be used for common smart contract and dapp development, deployment, and operational use cases. Besu also includes a command line interface and JSON-RPC API for running, maintaining, debugging, and monitoring nodes in an Ethereum network. The API can be accessed via RPC over HTTP or WebSocket. However, Besu does not support key management within the client, so Ethsigner can be used with Besu to access the keystore and sign transactions.

Does Besu support key management?

No, Besu does not support key management inside the client. However, you can use Ethsigner with Besu to access your keystore and sign transactions.

How can I get started with Besu for private networks?

To get started with Besu for private networks, you can follow the Developer Quickstart guide provided. This guide will help you rapidly generate local blockchain networks using Besu. Private networks in Besu are not connected to Ethereum Mainnet or an Ethereum testnet and typically use a different chain ID and proof of authority consensus such as QBFT, IBFT 2.0, or Clique. Besu supports enterprise features including privacy and permissioning. If you have any questions about Besu for private networks, you can ask on the besu channel on Hyperledger Discord.

How can I get started with Besu for public networks?

To get started with Besu for public networks, you can begin by installing Besu. Besu serves as an execution client on public proof-of-stake Ethereum networks like Ethereum Mainnet, Goerli, and Sepolia. Additionally, you can run Besu using proof of work on Ethereum Classic (ETC). If you have any questions about Besu for public networks, you can ask on the besu channel on Hyperledger Discord.

Where can I ask questions about Besu?

If you have any questions about Besu, you can ask on the besu channel on Hyperledger Discord.

How can I contribute to the Hyperledger Foundation and Besu?

To contribute to the Hyperledger Foundation and Besu, you can contribute to the documentation or to Besu itself. Besu is an open source Ethereum client developed under the Apache 2.0 license and written in Java. It can be used as an execution client on public proof-of-stake Ethereum networks such as Ethereum Mainnet, Goerli, and Sepolia. You can also run Besu using proof of work on Ethereum Classic (ETC). Besu includes a command line interface and JSON-RPC API for running, maintaining, debugging, and monitoring nodes in an Ethereum network.
