We are working hard on releasing NiceNode version 2 as soon as possible! All of our code is open-source and available on our [Github](https://github.com/NiceNode/nice-node) along with downloads of pre-release versions.\n\nAvailable first are Execution clients - Besu, Nethermind, and Geth - and Consensus Clients - Lodestar, Nimbus, Teku, Lighthouse, and Prysm.\n\nEthereum client teams and supporters, we welcome help with setting client default configurations and testing your client with NiceNode. Please reach out in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/TjBv7fNJ) or on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/NiceNodeApp).\n\nTo see updated screen recordings of starting a node from scratch with NiceNode, check-out our [Lenstube channel](https://lenstube.xyz/channel/johnsgresham.lens).", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "NiceNode", "projectTwitter": "NiceNodeApp"}, "recipient": "0x9cce47E9cF12C6147c9844adBB81fE85880c4df4"}}
