About
What is Quip?
Quip is a high-throughput Layer-1 blockchain focused on DeFi primitives and composable liquidity. Pvara operates a production-grade Dockerized node cluster on the Quip testnet, achieving 99.9% uptime through automated health checks, watchtower container updates, and multi-region failover. All node state is backed up every 6 hours to off-site cold storage.

Node Setup
Follow these steps in order to deploy your node.
Step 1 — Copy the config for your hardware type
# For CPU-only machines: cp data/config.cpu.toml data/config.toml # For CUDA (NVIDIA GPU) machines: # cp data/config.cuda.toml data/config.toml # For QPU machines: # cp data/config.qpu.toml data/config.toml
Step 2 — Set up environment variables
cp env.example .env # Edit .env and fill in your wallet key / node settings nano .env
Step 3 — Start the node (CPU)
docker compose --profile cpu up -d
Step 3 (alt) — Start the node (CUDA / GPU)
docker compose --profile cuda up -d
Step 3 (alt) — Start the node (QPU)
docker compose --profile qpu up -d
Step 4 — Enable auto-update cron job
# Install cron job for automatic updates: ./cron.sh --install # Remove cron job: # ./cron.sh --uninstall # Run update check manually: # ./cron.sh
Monitoring & Health Checks
Keep your node healthy with these commands.
View live logs (CPU node)
docker compose logs -f cpu
View live logs (CUDA node)
docker compose logs -f cuda
View live logs (QPU node)
docker compose logs -f qpu
Check all running containers
docker compose ps
Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them.
Restart a node profile
# Restart CPU node: docker compose restart cpu # Restart QPU node: docker compose restart qpu
Force recreate containers
docker compose --profile qpu up -d --force-recreate
Pull latest image and redeploy
docker compose pull cpu && docker compose up -d cpu
Stop the node completely
docker compose --profile cpu down
