NiceNode app simplifies the process of running and managing Ethereum and various Layer 2 nodes, designed for non-technical users, with ongoing work for enhanced stability and user experience.

Are you ready to run a node but feeling held back? The current options to run a node require technical skills to open a terminal and run commands or install a new operating system. Running a node should be as simple as downloading an app - and we've been working hard on NiceNode to make this happen.

NiceNode is an app that runs, monitors, and controls a node.

Available first are Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, and Farcaster nodes!

Your contributions will fund the best on-boarding experience to running Ethereum nodes, a foundation for Ethereum staking, and more node options such as Layer 2 and other web3 nodes.

NiceNode is stable for Linux, and available but unstable for Windows, and macOS. We are working hard on improving the stability on macOS and Windows. All of our code is open-source and available on our Github.

Ethereum client teams and supporters, we welcome help with setting client default configurations and testing your client with NiceNode. Please reach out in our Discord or on X|Twitter.
