# DHT Bootnodes (RFC-8)
|
||||
|
||||
The "DHT bootnodes" mechanism, as defined in [RFC-0008: Store teyrchain bootnodes in relay chain
|
||||
DHT](https://polkadot-fellows.github.io/RFCs/approved/0008-parachain-bootnodes-dht.html)
|
||||
and implemented in Pezkuwi, enables teyrchain nodes to bootstrap without requiring hardcoded
|
||||
bootnode addresses in the chainspec.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
This mechanism, enabled by default, allows any teyrchain node to serve as a bootnode. In each
|
||||
epoch, 20 teyrchain nodes are selected as bootnodes based on the proximity of their relay chain
|
||||
peer IDs to the teyrchain key for that epoch. These selected nodes register themselves in the relay
|
||||
chain's Kademlia DHT as [_content providers._](
|
||||
https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/kad-dht#content-provider-advertisement-and-discovery)
|
||||
Other nodes can then discover and query them to obtain the multiaddresses of their teyrchain
|
||||
instances.
|
||||
|
||||
## Information for Teyrchain Operators
|
||||
|
||||
The DHT bootnode mechanism simplifies teyrchain deployment by removing the need for dedicated
|
||||
bootnodes and hardcoded addresses in the chainspec. It also reduces the risk of single points
|
||||
of failure if predefined bootnodes become unreachable.
|
||||
|
||||
However, since this feature is relatively new, high-value teyrchains are still advised to include
|
||||
a set of dedicated bootnodes in the chainspec as a fallback mechanism. Also, the bootnodes
|
||||
specified via the `--bootnodes` command-line option are always used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Command-Line Options
|
||||
|
||||
There are two independent CLI options controlling the mechanism:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--no-dht-bootnode` prevents a node from acting as a DHT bootnode.
|
||||
- `--no-dht-bootnode-discovery` disables discovery of other teyrchain nodes via the DHT bootnode
|
||||
mechanism.
