Modules

Erigon's internal components can run as separate processes for scalability, security, or custom deployments. Only split them when you have a clear reason to.

RPC Daemon

Serve JSON-RPC requests as a separate, remoteable process — the most battle-tested external component.

TxPool

Manage the pending transaction pool as a standalone service, decoupled from the main node process.

Sentry

Erigon's network-facing peer-to-peer communication layer, isolatable for security or multi-node setups.

Downloader

Fetch and verify Erigon snapshots from the BitTorrent network — handles historical data retrieval.
