Run a QYN Node
Set up a full node to sync with the QYN blockchain and optionally run as a validator.
Requirements
You need a machine (VPS or dedicated server) with sufficient CPU, RAM, and disk. Recommended: multi-core CPU, 8GB+ RAM, 500GB+ SSD. A stable internet connection and open RPC port (default 8545 or as configured) are required. Exact minimum specs will be documented in the node software repository.
Installation
Clone or download the QYN node software (qyn-core or equivalent) from the official GitHub. Build or install according to the README. The node will need the genesis block and bootnodes to connect to the network. These are provided in the project documentation or release notes.
Configuration
Configure the node with the correct chain ID (7779 for testnet), RPC endpoint if you want to expose one, and any validator-specific options (e.g. staking key, commission). Environment variables or config files are typically used. Refer to the node repo for the full list of options.
Running as validator
To produce blocks you must run in validator mode and stake QYN. Validator setup, key management, and slashing rules are described on the validators page. Mainnet stake requirements will be announced before mainnet launch in Q4 2026.
