## ℹ️ Overview

[**cheqd**](https://www.cheqd.io) is a public self-sovereign identity (SSI) network for building secure 🔐 and private 🤫 self-sovereign identity systems on [Cosmos](https://cosmos.network) 💫. Our core vision is to add viable commercial models to decentralised digital 🆔

`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/).

## ▶️ Quick start for joining cheqd networks

Join 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).

Either the cheqd team, or one of your fellow node operators will be happy to offer some guidance.

### ✅ Mainnet

Getting started as a node operator on the cheqd network [mainnet](https://explorer.cheqd.io) is as simple as...

1. Install [the latest stable release](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/latest) of `cheqd-node` software (currently `v1.x.x`) on a hosting platform of your choice by [following the setup guide](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/getting-started/setup-and-configure).

2. Once you have acquired CHEQ tokens, [promote your node to a validator](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/validator-guides/validator-guide)

If successfully configured, your node would become the latest validator on the cheqd mainnet. Welcome to the new digital ID revolution!

### 🚧 Testnet

Our [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...

1. Install [the latest stable release](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/latest) of `cheqd-node` software (currently `v2.x.x`) on a hosting platform of your choice by [following the setup guide](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/getting-started/setup-and-configure).

2. Acquire testnet CHEQ tokens through [our testnet faucet](https://testnet-faucet.cheqd.io).

3. Once you have acquired CHEQ tokens, [promote your node to a validator](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/validator-guides/validator-guide)

## 🧑‍💻 Using cheqd

Once installed, `cheqd-node` can be controlled using the [cheqd Cosmos CLI guide](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/getting-started/cheqd-cli).

### 📌 Currently supported functionality

* Basic token functionality for holding and transferring tokens to other accounts on the same network

* Creating, managing, and configuring accounts and keys on a cheqd node

* Staking and participating in public-permissionless governance

* Governance framework for public-permissionless self-sovereign identity networks

* Creating [`did:cheqd` method DIDs](https://docs.cheqd.io/identity/architecture/adr-list/adr-001-cheqd-did-method), DID Documents ("DIDDocs")

* Querying DIDs/DIDDocs using our [Universal Resolver driver](https://docs.cheqd.io/identity/advanced/did-resolver)

* Creating and managing Verifiable Credentials anchored to DIDs on cheqd mainnet

* Creating [on-ledger DID-Linked "resources" (e.g., schemas, visual representations of credentials, etc)](https://docs.cheqd.io/identity/guides/did-linked-resources) that can be used in DIDDocs and Verifiable Credentials. This is used to support [AnonCreds on cheqd](https://docs.cheqd.io/identity/guides/anoncreds)

* Custom [pricing for DID and Resources](https://cheqd.io/developers/) with burn to manage inflation.

## 🛠 Developing & contributing to cheqd

`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.

If you want to build a node from source or contribute to the code, please read our guide to [building and testing](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/developing-on-cheqd/build-and-networks).

### Creating a local network

If you are building from source, or otherwise interested in running a local network, we have [instructions on how to set up a new network](https://docs.cheqd.io/node/developing-on-cheqd/build-and-networks) for development purposes.

## 🐞 Bug reports & 🤔 feature requests

If 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.

## 💬 Community

Our [**Discord server**](http://cheqd.link/discord-github) is our primary chat channel for the open-source community, software developers, and node operators.

Please reach out to us there for discussions, help, and feedback on the project.
