Movement DocsDeploy a PFN
Step-by-step guides for deploying a public fullnode (PFN) on Movement networks using various deployment methods including source code, Docker, and cloud platforms coming soon.
The following guides provide step-by-step instructions for deploying a PFN on the Movement networks.
Do I have to run a PFN?
If you do not wish to run a PFN, but still want to interact with the Movement blockchain, you can use the REST API
provided by the Movement Labs' PFNs (see Movement APIs). Note, however, that Movement Labs-provided PFNs have rate
limits, which can impede your development. You can deploy your own PFN
and synchronize with the Movement blockchain directly, or use a different node infrastructure provider.

Choose a network
These guides default to deploying a PFN in the Movement testnet network, but they can easily be used to do
the same in other networks (e.g., devnet or mainnet network). To do so, check out the
movement-networks repo
and use the genesis.blob and waypoint.txt node files for the respective networks:
mainnet,
testnet,
and devnet.
