Node Configuration

By default, the init command creates your ~/.archway directory with subfolders config and data. In the config directory, the most important files for configuration are app.toml and config.toml. You can configure your node via editing these files.

The basic configurations are included in this document. For more details about configs, review the app.toml and config.toml files.
