CPH Core

Sovereign SHA-256 Network

Independent chain operations, public explorer access, and bootstrap-era network visibility.

Download CPH Core

Start with the public node bundle. Advanced and operator assets remain available.

Most people should download the portable public node bundle first. It is the simplest path for running a local node, creating a wallet, checking public peers, and using the bundled mining helpers only after the public chain is ready.

Recommended for Most Users

Download the portable public node bundle first.

This is the cleanest public starting point. It includes the local wrappers, current public peer configuration, wallet commands, and bundled mining helpers.

Public Node Bundle

Portable Windows node bundle with local wrappers, bundled mining helpers, live seed peers, and a ready-to-run README for normal users.

Advanced and Operator Assets

Use the other published release files only if they match your job.

The raw candidate zip is for reviewers and advanced operators. Operator bundles are for public infrastructure, not for first-time users.

Windows + Docs Bundle

Advanced candidate bundle with the full artifact tree, explorer app, docs, and launch tooling.

Package Guide

What each download is for

Choose the simplest package that matches what you actually want to do.

Public Node Bundle

Portable node bundle with local wrappers, live peer configuration, wallet creation commands, and bundled mining helpers for normal users.

Recommended download

Advanced Candidate

Full release candidate tree for reviewers and power users who need the complete artifact layout instead of the simplified public bundle.

Advanced / reviewer download

Operator Bundles

Bootstrap, seed, and explorer rollout bundles are generated from the current inventory for operators managing public infrastructure.

Operator-only tooling

Public Bundle Reality

Normal users should not start with operator tooling.

  • Use the public node bundle first for node, wallet, and explorer checks.
  • Do not expect public mining to work until your node has public peers and the public chain has advanced.
  • If your node shows zero peers, stop and fix connectivity before trying wallet or mining flows.

Operator-Only Assets

Bootstrap bundles are not the first download for public users.

  • Operator bundles are for seed, bootstrap, and explorer hosts.
  • The advanced candidate is for reviewers who want the full artifact tree.
  • The checksum manifest and signatures should always be checked before trusting any release asset.

Who Should Download What

Start with the package that matches your role.

A simpler path for visitors who do not yet know whether they need a node, explorer, or operator bundle.

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 users

Review 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 operators

Use 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.

Best for infrastructure operators

Node Setup

Run CPH Core

  • Install the public node bundle on a clean Windows or Linux host.
  • Confirm peer connectivity before you treat the node as a public participant.
  • Verify health endpoints and block visibility through the public explorer.

Explorer Access

Observe the network

  • Browse blocks, transactions, addresses, and the mempool.
  • Check JSON status at cphcore.org/api/status.
  • Track public bootstrap readiness while the network matures.

Before You Run It

Verification should come before deployment.

Download first, verify second, then compare the candidate against the public network surface.

Download the candidate and SHA256SUMS

Start with the current candidate package and its checksum manifest before you unpack or run anything.

Verify detached signatures

Check signer packets and detached signatures against the trusted roster to confirm authenticity.

Match the live network surface

Confirm that the software, seed topology, and explorer visibility all point at the same CPH public network.
