Participate

Run infrastructure, mine CPH, and help strengthen the network.

The public cluster is already live. The next layer of participation comes from full nodes, mining support, independent operators, signer review, and long-term production hardening.

Ways To Help

Join the network in the role that fits you best

Participation is broader than mining alone.

Run a Full Node

Join the network with the current candidate, verify releases, and help strengthen the public node layer.

Mine CPH

Participate in opening-stage or later mining with the solo GBT path, Stratum bridge, or external SHA-256 hardware.

Support Releases

Help review manifests, signer packets, and deployment readiness as the project matures beyond bootstrap stage.

Participation Paths

Start where you can add the most value.

A public-facing way to explain that the network needs more than miners alone.

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 Operators

  • Run a public node and expose healthy P2P connectivity.
  • Monitor explorer and health surfaces as the chain progresses.
  • Contribute to broader geographic and organizational diversity.

Miners

  • Join opening-stage mining or later fleet participation.
  • Use the solo GBT path or external SHA-256 hardware.
  • Help the network move from bootstrap-ready toward stronger production security.

Ready to Start?

Open the mining guide first.

Most people should create a wallet and understand the mining modes before they try to point hardware at the network.

Need an Address First?

Create a wallet before you mine.

Mining rewards need a payout address, so wallet creation is part of the mining onboarding path.
