Get started

In order to participate in the GNY network you will need to run a Blockchain node. It helps to decentralize the network in case other nodes drop out. For producing blocks you need to run a Blockchain node and activate the block generation by supplying your Delegate secret.

A Blockchain node consists of a node.js app and a postgres database.
