New guide: how to run your own Brisvia node

A node is a computer that verifies the network on its own and helps keep Brisvia decentralized. It doesn't produce coins, but it's one of the most valuable ways to take part — the more independent nodes there are, the healthier and more open the network stays.

To make it easy, we've published a step-by-step guide that covers everything from the simplest path to the advanced one.

The easy way and the advanced way

The easiest way to run a node is with Brisvia Desktop: while it's open and synced, it works as a full validating node. For operators and developers who want a standalone node, the guide also explains how to build Brisvia Core from source.

How to check it's working

The guide walks you through confirming the chain, watching it sync, and checking your peers. If you want the exact network parameters — ports, genesis, RPC — they're on the integration page, and the full source lives in the core repository.

Why it matters

Every independent node makes Brisvia harder to censor and easier to trust. You don't need to mine, and running a node never needs your recovery words — no address or 12 words required.
