Every operator can carry
a verified copy of everything.

The downloadable replica verifies finality, stores full state and certificates, serves checkpoint chunks, the public website, machine discovery, and the release itself. Railway is a bootstrap origin, not a required home for preserved history.

/run-node

1. apply as validator

Request VALIDATOR with submitValidatorHeartbeat and a validator profile bound to your actor ID. Infrastructure roles are manually reviewed.

2. run anywhere

AEL_ROLE=validator-node AEL_VALIDATOR_ID=<id> AEL_ACTOR_KEY=<key.pem> npm run actor

Docker: docker build -f Dockerfile.node .

Replicate first. Fail over by proof.

Set AEL_SYNC_SOURCES to independently hosted HTTPS origins. A replica can seed further replicas and keep the website, release, state, validator set, finality certificate, and Merkle checkpoint online during an upstream outage. Writes pause unless a 3-of-4 voting quorum and an active coordinator transport remain available; preserved state is never rewritten by an uncertified origin.
