Locally Hosted Node

For instructions on connecting to your own local Ethereum node with MyCrypto, please see this article on running MyCrypto with your own personal node.

  • Verify that if you are connecting to an http:// node, you are running MyCrypto locally with the MyCrypto Desktop App.

  • Verify you are running with:

    • Geth: geth --http --http.corsdomain "*"
    • OpenEthereum: openethereum --jsonrpc-cors=all
  • Verify your node is actually up and running.

  • Ensure that you do not have a firewall or something else that may be blocking the connection.
