Block Builder Reference
The INTMAX Block Builder is the node responsible for aggregating user transactions and submitting new L2 blocks to the network.
Running a builder lets you:
- Earn rewards by helping finalize blocks.
- Strengthen decentralization by contributing new permissionless capacity.
| Guide | When to use | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| Full-Network Mode | When the Builder cannot be accessed publicly (behind NAT or firewall). Traffic is relayed through the INTMAX proxy. | Quick, one-command installation without domain or load balancer setup. |
| Standalone Mode | When the Builder can be made publicly accessible using your own domain or load balancer. | Minimal or customizable installation, best for production-grade and flexible setups, supports multiple independent Builders. |
