-
-### Hardware requirements
-
-We recommend you have this hardware configuration to run a node:
-
-- a modern multi-core CPU with good single-core performance
-- at least 16 GB RAM (32 GB recommended)
-- a locally attached NVMe SSD drive
-- adequate storage capacity to accommodate both the snapshot restoration process (if restoring from snapshot) and chain data, ensuring a minimum of (2 \* current_chain_size) + snapshot_size + 20%\_buffer
-
-**Note:** If utilizing Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), ensure timing buffered disk reads are fast enough in order to avoid latency issues alongside the rate of new blocks added to Base during the initial synchronization process; `io2 block express` is recommended.
-
-### Troubleshooting
+## Quick Start
 
-If you encounter problems with your node, please open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/base/node/issues/new/choose) or reach out on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/buildonbase):
+1. Ensure you have an Ethereum L1 full node RPC available
+2. Choose your network:
+   - For mainnet: Use `.env.mainnet`
+   - For testnet: Use `.env.sepolia`
+3. Configure your L1 endpoints in the appropriate `.env` file:
+   ```bash
+   OP_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC=<your-preferred-l1-rpc>
+   OP_NODE_L1_BEACON=<your-preferred-l1-beacon>
+   OP_NODE_L1_BEACON_ARCHIVER=<your-preferred-l1-beacon-archiver>
+   ```
+4. Start the node:
 
-- Once you've joined, in the Discord app go to `server menu` > `Linked Roles` > `connect GitHub` and connect your GitHub account so you can gain access to our developer channels
-- Report your issue in `#🛟|developer-support` or `🛠｜node-operators`
+   ```bash
+   # For mainnet (default):
+   docker compose up --build
 
-### Supported networks
+   # For testnet:
+   cp .env.sepolia .env.mainnet
+   docker compose up --build
 
-| Base Network      | Status |
-|-------------------| ------ |
-| Testnet (Sepolia) | ✅     |
-| Mainnet           | ✅     |
+   # To use a specific client (optional):
+   CLIENT=reth docker compose up --build
+   ```
 
-### Usage
+### Supported Clients
 
-1. Ensure you have an Ethereum L1 full node RPC available (not Base), and set `OP_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC` (in the `.env.*` file if using docker-compose). If running your own L1 node, it needs to be synced before Base will be able to fully sync.
-2. Set the `NETWORK_ENV` environment variable to specify your network:
-   ```bash
-   # For mainnet:
-   export NETWORK_ENV=.env.mainnet
-   # For testnet:
-   export NETWORK_ENV=.env.sepolia
-   ```
-3. Run:
+- `geth` (default)
+- `reth`
+- `nethermind`
 
-```
-docker compose up --build
-```
+## Requirements
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> To run the node using a supported client, you can use the following command:
-> `CLIENT=supported_client docker compose up --build`
-> 
-> Supported clients:
-> - geth
-> - reth
-> - nethermind
+- Modern multi-core CPU
+- 16 GB RAM (32 GB recommended)
+- NVMe SSD drive
+- Storage: (2 \* current_chain_size) + snapshot_size + 20% buffer
+- Docker and Docker Compose
 
-4. You should now be able to `curl` your Base node:
+## Configuration
 
-```
-curl -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false]}' \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8545
-```
+### Required Settings
 
-Note: Some L1 nodes (e.g. Erigon) do not support fetching storage proofs. You can work around this by specifying `--l1.trustrpc` when starting op-node (add it in `op-node-entrypoint` and rebuild the docker image with `docker compose build`.) Do not do this unless you fully trust the L1 node provider.
+- L1 Configuration:
+  - `OP_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC`: Your Ethereum L1 node RPC endpoint
+  - `OP_NODE_L1_BEACON`: Your L1 beacon node endpoint
+  - `OP_NODE_L1_BEACON_ARCHIVER`: Your L1 beacon archiver endpoint
 
-#### Persisting Data
+### Network Settings
 
-By default, the data directory is stored in `${PROJECT_ROOT}/geth-data`. You can override this by modifying the value of
-`GETH_HOST_DATA_DIR` variable in the [`.env`](./.env) file.
+- Mainnet:
+  - `RETH_CHAIN=base`
+  - `OP_NODE_NETWORK=base-mainnet`
+  - Sequencer: `https://mainnet-sequencer.base.org`
 
-To load a [snapshot](#snapshots) you can extract the snapshot into the `$GETH_HOST_DATA_DIR` folder.
+### Performance Settings
 
-#### Running in single container with `supervisord`
+- Cache Settings:
+  - `GETH_CACHE=51200`
+  - `GETH_CACHE_DATABASE=8`
+  - `GETH_CACHE_GC=0`
+  - `GETH_CACHE_SNAPSHOT=36`
+  - `GETH_CACHE_TRIE=56`
 
-If you'd like to run the node in a single container instead of `docker-compose`, you can use the `supervisord` entrypoint.
-This is useful for running the node in a Kubernetes cluster, for example.
+### Optional Features
 
-Note that you'll need to override some of the default configuration that assumes a multi-container environment (`OP_NODE_L2_ENGINE_RPC`) and any port conflicts (`OP_NODE_RPC_PORT`).
-Example:
+- EthStats Monitoring (uncomment to enable)
+- Trusted RPC Mode (uncomment to enable)
+- Snap Sync (experimental)
 
-```
-docker run --env-file .env.sepolia -e OP_NODE_L2_ENGINE_RPC=ws://localhost:8551 -e OP_NODE_RPC_PORT=7545 ghcr.io/base/node:latest
-```
+For full configuration options, see the `.env.mainnet` file.
 
-### Snapshots
+## Supported Networks
 
-You can fetch the latest snapshots via the URLs provided in the [Base docs](https://docs.base.org/guides/run-a-base-node/#snapshots).
+| Network | Status |
+| ------- | ------ |
+| Mainnet | ✅     |
+| Testnet | ✅     |
 
-### Syncing
+## Troubleshooting
 
-Sync speed depends on your L1 node, as the majority of the chain is derived from data submitted to the L1. You can check your syncing status using the `optimism_syncStatus` RPC on the `op-node` container. Example:
+For support:
 
-```
-command -v jq  &> /dev/null || { echo "jq is not installed" 1>&2 ; }
-echo Latest synced block behind by: \
-$((($( date +%s )-\
-$( curl -s -d '{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"optimism_syncStatus"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:7545 |
-   jq -r .result.unsafe_l2.timestamp))/60)) minutes
-```
+1. Join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/buildonbase)
+2. Connect your GitHub account via `server menu` > `Linked Roles`
+3. Post in `#🛟|developer-support` or `🛠｜node-operators`
