 We rely on custom JSON-RPC APIs which are not available in a standard ETH node. We keep a separated repository containing an Erigon fork here: https://github.com/wmitsuda/erigon.

+When running `erigon`, make sure to enable the `erigon`, `ots`, `eth` APIs in addition to whatever cli options you are using to start `erigon`.
 
 `ots` stands for Otterscan and it is the namespace we use for our own custom APIs.
 
 ```
-<path-to-rpcdaemon-binary>/rpcdaemon --http.api "eth,erigon,ots,<your-other-apis>" --private.api.addr 127.0.0.1:9090 --datadir <erigon-datadir> --http.corsdomain "*"
+<path-to-erigon-binary>/erigon --http.api "eth,erigon,ots,<your-other-apis>" --datadir <erigon-datadir> --http.corsdomain "*"
 ```
 
-Be sure to include both `--private.api.addr` and `--datadir` parameter so you run it in dual mode, otherwise the performance will be much worse.
+Pay attention to the `--http.corsdomain` parameter, CORS is **required** for the browser to call the node directly.

 ## Run Otterscan docker image from Docker Hub
 
 The Otterscan official repo on Docker Hub is [here](https://hub.docker.com/orgs/otterscan/repositories).
 
 ```
-docker run --rm -p 5000:80 --name otterscan -d otterscan/otterscan:<versiontag>
+docker run --rm -p 5100:80 --name otterscan -d otterscan/otterscan:<versiontag>
 ```
 
-This will download the Otterscan image from Docker Hub, run it locally using the default parameters, binding it to port 5000 (see the `-p` docker run parameter).

 By default it assumes your Erigon node is at `http://127.0.0.1:8545`. You can override the URL by setting the `ERIGON_URL` env variable on `docker run`:
 
 ```
-docker run --rm -p 5000:80 --name otterscan -d --env ERIGON_URL="<your-erigon-node-url>" otterscan/otterscan:<versiontag>
+docker run --rm -p 5100:80 --name otterscan -d --env ERIGON_URL="<your-erigon-node-url>" otterscan/otterscan:<versiontag>

 This is the preferred way to run Otterscan. You can read about other ways [here](./other-ways-to-run-otterscan.md).
 
+## (Optional) Enable integration with beacon chain
+
+You can optionally enable displaying extra info from the beacon chain by providing the public URL of your beacon node API.
+
+Enabling the beacon chain API depends on which CL implementation you are using.
+
+> As an example, for Prysm you need to enable CORS and possibly bind the address to the correct network interface with `--grpc-gateway-host="0.0.0.0" --grpc-gateway-corsdomain='*'` and by default it binds it to the port 3500.
+
+When starting the Otterscan process via Docker, you need to add an extra env variable called `BEACON_API_URL` pointing to your beacon node API URL.
+
+Prysm example:
+
+```
+docker run --rm -p 5100:80 --name otterscan -d --env BEACON_API_URL="<your-beacon-node-api-url>" otterscan/otterscan:<versiontag>
+```

 ## Validating the installation (all methods)
 
 You can make sure it is working correctly if the homepage is able to show the latest block/timestamp your Erigon node is at just bellow the search button.
