Get Started
Choose whether you want to run a node, inspect the chain, participate in mining, or prepare for the upcoming wallet surface.
Documentation
Use the current operational guides to run nodes, mine CPH, and verify releases.
The documentation surface is being expanded from the live bootstrap tooling. This page is the public-facing path for the practical steps behind the current CPH stack.

Documentation Areas
Current paths for users, operators, and reviewers
These sections map directly to the current state of the network and release process.
Run a Node
Bring up the current candidate, connect to the live bootstrap layer, verify health, and observe the chain from the public explorer.
Mine CPH
Use the opening-stage miner flow first, then move toward broader handoff once the first block and approvals are in place.
Verify Releases
Check manifests, detached signatures, and signer metadata before trusting any release candidate or operator bundle.
Start Guides
Public entry points for visitors, operators, and contributors.
A docs structure that reads more like a public project site than an internal bootstrap notebook.
Use the Public Node Bundle
Most users should start with the portable public node bundle. It includes Windows wrappers, a ready node config, bundled mining helpers, and the current public seed peers.
Recommended for most usersReview the Advanced Candidate
The raw candidate zip is still available for reviewers and advanced operators who want the full artifact tree, launch notes, and explorer app sources.
Best for reviewers and advanced operatorsUse Operator Bundles Only If Needed
Seed, explorer, and bootstrap rollout bundles are for infrastructure operators. Normal users do not need them to run a local node or wallet.

Start Here
Choose the path that matches you: inspect the network, run a node, create a wallet, or learn how CPH mining works today.
Open GuideRun a Node
Install the current candidate, start the node, connect to the public bootstrap layer, and verify peer connectivity.
Open GuideCreate a Wallet
Use the current node-backed wallet flow today, then move to the modern wallet surface when it lands.
Open GuideMine CPH
Learn the difference between local test mining, public-bundle mining after peer sync, and operator-managed SHA-256 hardware flows.
Open GuideNode Docs
- Install the current mainnet candidate.
- Connect to the live seed and bootstrap layer.
- Confirm health, peer connectivity, and explorer visibility.
Mining Docs
- Start with opening-stage mining while the chain is at height zero.
- Use handoff precheck and finalize flows after the first accepted block.
- Track network state through the same public explorer and status endpoints.
Frequently Asked
Current answers about the project and network state
A public-facing FAQ layer modeled for a broader site experience.
Is CPH already live?
CPH is bootstrap-ready and publicly reachable, with opening-stage mining and handoff flows prepared. The project is still maturing toward a stronger Bitcoin-grade trust posture.
What can I do right now?
You can inspect the public explorer, run a node candidate, participate in bootstrap operations, and prepare for mining or later wallet usage.
Why is there an explorer first?
The explorer gives public visibility into the chain, node health, and block activity during the earliest stages of the network.
Why might mining not start immediately from a fresh download?
Mining depends on public peers and public chain state. If your node still reports zero peers or probe-gbt says it is waiting for blocks, let it connect and wait for the shared public chain to advance before you expect getblocktemplate to work.
