The chain nodes are the backbone of KYVE. The chain layer is a completely sovereign Proof of Stake blockchain build with Cosmos SDK using the Ignite CLI. This blockchain is run by independent nodes we call Chain Nodes since they're running on the chain level. The native currency of the KYVE chain is $KYVE, it secures the chain and allows chain nodes to stake and other users to delegate into them.
To build from source, the Ignite CLI is required.
ignite chain build --release --release.prefix kyveThe output can be found in ./release.
If you need to build for different architectures, use the -t flag, e.g. -t linux:amd64,linux:arm64.
Full documentation for setting up a chain node are provided here.
