secure 🔐 and private 🤫 self-sovereign identity systems on [Cosmos](https://cosmos.network) 💫. Our core vision is to add viable commercial models to decentralised digital 🆔\n\n`cheqd-node` is the ledger/node component of the cheqd network tech stack, built using [Cosmos SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk) and [CometBFT](https://cometbft.com/).\n\n## ▶️ Quick start for joining cheqd networks\n\nJoin our [**Discord server**](http://cheqd.link/discord-github) for help, questions, and support if you are looking to join our [mainnet](https://explorer.cheqd.io) or [testnet](https://testnet-explorer.cheqd.io).\n\nEither the cheqd team, or one of your fellow node operators will be happy to offer some guidance.\n\n### ✅ Mainnet\n\nGetting started as a node operator on the cheqd network [mainnet](https://explorer.cheqd.io) is as simple as...\n\n1. Install [the latest stable release](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/latest) of `cheqd-node` software (currently `v3.x.x`) on a hosting platform of your choice by [following the setup guide](docs/setup-and-configure/README.md).\n2. Once you have acquired CHEQ tokens, [promote your node to a validator](docs/validator-guide/README.md).\n\nIf successfully configured, your node would become the latest validator on the cheqd mainnet. Welcome to the new digital ID revolution!\n\n### 🚧 Testnet\n\nOur [testnet](https://testnet-explorer.cheqd.io) is the easiest place for developers and node operators to get started if you're not *quite* ready yet to dive into building apps on our mainnet. To get started...\n\n1. Install [the latest stable release](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/latest) of `cheqd-node` software (currently `v3.x.x`) on a hosting platform of your choice by [following the setup guide](docs/setup-and-configure/README.md).\n2. Acquire testnet CHEQ tokens through [our testnet faucet](https://testnet-faucet.cheqd.io).\n3. Once you have acquired CHEQ tokens, [promote your node to a validator](docs/validator-guide/README.md).\n\n## 🧑‍💻 Using cheqd\n\nOnce installed, `cheqd-node` can be controlled using the [cheqd Cosmos CLI guide](docs/cheqd-cli/README.md).\n\n### 📌 Currently supported functionality\n\n* Basic token functionality for holding and transferring tokens to other accounts on the same network\n* Creating, managing, and configuring accounts and keys on a cheqd node\n* Staking and participating in public-permissionless governance\n* Governance framework for public-permissionless self-sovereign identity networks\n* Creating [`did:cheqd` method DIDs](https://docs.cheqd.io/product/architecture/adr-list/adr-001-cheqd-did-method), DID Documents (\"DIDDocs\")\n* Querying DIDs/DIDDocs using our [Universal Resolver driver](https://docs.cheqd.io/product/advanced/did-resolver)\n* Creating and managing Verifiable Credentials anchored to DIDs on cheqd mainnet\n* Creating [on-ledger DID-Linked \"resources\" (e.g., schemas, visual representations of credentials, etc)](https://docs.cheqd.io/product/studio/did-linked-resources/understanding-dlrs) that can be used in DIDDocs and Verifiable Credentials. This is used to support [AnonCreds on cheqd](https://docs.cheqd.io/product/advanced/anoncreds)\n* Custom [pricing for DID and Resources](https://cheqd.io/developers/) with burn to manage inflation.\n* EIP-1559 style feemarkets pricing for dynamic fees.\n\n## 🛠 Developing \u0026 contributing to cheqd\n\n`cheqd-node` is written in Go and built using Cosmos SDK. The [Cosmos SDK Developer Guide](https://docs.cosmos.network/main) explains a lot of the [basic concepts](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/basics/app-anatomy) of how the cheqd network functions.\n\nIf you want to build a node from source or contribute to the code, please read our guide to [building and testing](docs/build-and-networks/README.md).\n\n### Creating a local network\n\nIf you are building from source, or otherwise interested in running a local network, we have [instructions on how to set up a new network](docs/build-and-networks/docker-localnet.md) for development purposes.\n\n## 🐞 Bug reports \u0026 🤔 feature requests\n\nIf you notice anything not behaving how you expected, or would like to make a suggestion / request for a new feature, please create a [**new issue**](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/issues/new/choose) and let us know.\n\n## 💬 Community\n\nOur [**Discord server**](http://cheqd.link/discord-github) is our primary chat channel for the open-source community, software developers, and node operators.\n\nPlease reach out to us there for discussions, help, and feedback on the project.\n\n## 🙋 Find us elsewhere\n\n[![Telegram](https://img.shields.io/badge/Telegram-2CA5E0?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=telegram\u0026logoColor=white)](https://t.me/cheqd) [![Discord](https://img.shields.io/badge/Discord-7289DA?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=discord\u0026logoColor=white)](http://cheqd.link/discord-github) [![Twitter](https://img.shields.io/badge/Twitter-1DA1F2?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=twitter\u0026logoColor=white)](https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=cheqd_io) [![LinkedIn](https://img.shields.io/badge/LinkedIn-0077B5?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=linkedin\u0026logoColor=white)](http://cheqd.link/linkedin) [![Medium](https://img.shields.io/badge/Medium-12100E?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=medium\u0026logoColor=white)](https://blog.cheqd.io) [![YouTube](https://img.shields.io/badge/YouTube-FF0000?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=youtube\u0026logoColor=white)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBUGvvH6t3BAYo5u41hJPzw/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcheqd%2Fnode-docs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcheqd%2Fnode-docs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcheqd%2Fnode-docs/lists"}
