Title: Make public SPV node with electrs? Post by: Geremia on August 29, 2025, 12:37:57 AM Can I configure electrs (https://github.com/romanz/electrs) to be a public (port 50002) SPV node?

However, the developer himself doesn't recommend to use it as public Electrum server as noted in its "Usage" part in its 'ReadMe' doc. There's a note about a fork by Blockstream which would be a good alternative but its database isn't compatible with romanz/electrs so you will not be able to utilize your existing setup if you decided to use it.

According to benchmark[1], it's better than ElectrumX and Electrs in most aspect.
There's a note about a fork by Blockstream which would be a good alternative but its database isn't compatible with romanz/electrs so you will not be able to utilize your existing setup if you decided to use it. Take note that fork have demanding resource requirement. Quote from: https://github.com/romanz/electrs If you want to run a public server you may be interested in the Blockstream fork of electrs (https://github.com/Blockstream/electrs) which is better optimized for public usage at the cost of consuming significantly more resources. Unfortunately Blockstream electrs doesn't mention minimum/recommended hardware, while recommended hardware on mempool.space docs is meant for production usage[2] which probably isn't OP goal.
