Can I use blob site binaries to deploy storage nodes?

I'm trying to deploy storage nodes and was curious if it's possible to use the binaries available on the blob site for this purpose. There seems to be some confusion because the documentation mentioned that these binaries are not public. Yet, when I tested with the blob binaries, they seemed to work. Can someone clarify whether this approach is okay, or if there are any limitations or considerations to keep in mind?

In principle, you can run your own storage node using the blob binaries. However, it’s important to note that currently, nodes are not being added to the Testnet at this point. Regarding your concerns about using the blob binaries, the binaries are indeed available, and you can proceed to install the necessary utilities like the Sui CLI and set up your environment. Remember to ensure compatibility with your system requirements.
