About

What is AQNX?

AQNX (formerly QAN Platform) is a quantum-resistant smart contract platform that enables developers to write contracts in any programming language. Pvara operates a full node on the AQNX testnet backed by container orchestration and a complete Grafana + Prometheus observability stack. Node health metrics, block production cadence, and peer connectivity are all visualised in real time on our monitoring dashboard.

Node Setup

Follow these steps in order to deploy your node.

1

Network configuration

Network Name:    QAN TestNet
RPC URL:         https://rpc-testnet.qanplatform.com
Chain ID:        1121
Currency Symbol: QANX
Block Explorer:  https://testnet.qanscan.com
Add this network to MetaMask or your EVM-compatible wallet before running the XLink node.
2

Step 1 — Pull the QAN XLink Docker image

docker pull qanplatform/xlink:testnet
3

Step 2 — Run the XLink container (single wallet)

docker run -d   --name=xlink-testnet   --restart=always   --volume=xlink-testnet:/xlink   qanplatform/xlink:testnet
The node will auto-generate a mnemonic inside the volume on first run. Retrieve it with: docker logs xlink-testnet
4

Step 3 (optional) — Run multiple wallets simultaneously

# Wallet A
docker run -d --name=xlink-wallet-a --restart=always   --volume=xlink-wallet-a:/xlink qanplatform/xlink:testnet

# Wallet B
docker run -d --name=xlink-wallet-b --restart=always   --volume=xlink-wallet-b:/xlink qanplatform/xlink:testnet
5

Step 4 (optional) — Use a custom mnemonic file

# Wallet A with custom mnemonic:
docker run -d --name=xlink-wallet-a --restart=always   -v /path/to/mnemonic-a.txt:/xlink/mnemonic.txt   qanplatform/xlink:testnet

# Override mnemonic path via env variable:
docker run -d --name=xlink-wallet-b --restart=always   -v my-volume:/xlink   -e QAN_MNEMO=/xlink/wallet-b.txt   qanplatform/xlink:testnet
Never share your mnemonic file. Store it securely with chmod 600.
02

Monitoring & Health Checks

Keep your node healthy with these commands.

View live XLink node logs

docker logs -f xlink-testnet

View logs for a specific wallet container

# Wallet A:
docker logs -f xlink-wallet-a

# Wallet B:
docker logs -f xlink-wallet-b

Check container status

docker ps --filter name=xlink
03

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them.

!

Container stopped / not running

# Check exit reason:
docker logs xlink-testnet --tail=30

# Restart container:
docker restart xlink-testnet
!

Pull latest image and recreate

docker pull qanplatform/xlink:testnet
docker stop xlink-testnet && docker rm xlink-testnet
docker run -d --name=xlink-testnet --restart=always   --volume=xlink-testnet:/xlink qanplatform/xlink:testnet
Your wallet data is stored in the named volume xlink-testnet and will not be lost.
!

Retrieve auto-generated mnemonic

docker logs xlink-testnet 2>&1 | grep -i mnemonic
Back up your mnemonic immediately and store it securely offline.
