Environment configuration

To initially run your node in Local mode for testing and to ensure it is working correctly during the setup process, set up the following environment variables:

Create a .env file

In the root directory, create a .env file and add the following content:

# Base .env configuration

RPC_URL=https://ethereum-sepolia.publicnode.com
ENV=local
FILE_PATH=.
VALIDATOR=false
PORT=8080
API_ENABLED=true  # Set to true to allow API calls, false to disable them
Note: Initially set ENV=local for testing and to ensure the setup is working correctly. Once verified, we will change to ENV=test and add a bootnode to join the testnet, but for now that is not necessary.
