### Blockstreamer
Solana supports a node type called a _blockstreamer_. This validator variation is intended for applications that need to observe the data plane without participating in transaction validation or ledger replication.
A blockstreamer runs without a vote signer, and can optionally stream ledger entries out to a Unix domain socket as they are processed. The JSON-RPC service still functions as on any other node.
To run a blockstreamer, include the argument `no-signer` and \(optional\) `blockstream` socket location:
```bash
$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/validator-x.sh --no-signer --blockstream <SOCKET>
```
The stream will output a series of JSON objects:
* An Entry event JSON object is sent when each ledger entry is processed, with the following fields:
* `dt`, the system datetime, as RFC3339-formatted string
* `t`, the event type, always "entry"
* `s`, the slot height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
* `h`, the tick height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
* `entry`, the entry, as JSON object
* A Block event JSON object is sent when a block is complete, with the following fields:
* `dt`, the system datetime, as RFC3339-formatted string
* `t`, the event type, always "block"
* `s`, the slot height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
* `h`, the tick height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
* `l`, the slot leader id, as base-58 encoded string
* `hash`, the [blockhash](terminology.md#blockhash), as base-58 encoded string
## Public Testnet
## Developer Testnet
In this example the client connects to our public testnet. To run validators on the testnet you would need to open udp ports `8000-10000`.
