IBFT 1.0
Besu nodes can operate (that is, submit transactions and receive blocks) in a Quorum IBFT 1.0 network, but cannot be validators.
To connect to a Quorum IBFT 1.0 network:
-
In the Quorum IBFT 1.0 genesis file, update the consensus protocol specified in the
config
property fromistanbul
toibft
."config": { ... "ibft": { ... }
-
When starting Besu, specify the IBFT 1.0 genesis file using the
--genesis-file
option.
