Chia is a modern cryptocurrency built from scratch, designed to be efficient, decentralized, and secure. Here are some of the features and benefits:
- [Proof of space and time][link-consensus] based consensus which allows anyone to farm with commodity hardware
- Very easy to use full node and farmer GUI and cli (thousands of nodes active on mainnet)
- [Chia seeder][link-seeder], which maintains a list of reliable nodes within the Chia network via a built-in DNS server.
- Simplified UTXO based transaction model, with small on-chain state
- Lisp-style Turing-complete functional [programming language][link-chialisp] for money related use cases
- BLS keys and aggregate signatures (only one signature per block)
- [Pooling protocol][link-pool] that allows farmers to have control of making blocks
- Support for light clients with fast, objective syncing
- A growing community of farmers and developers around the world
Please check out the [Chia website][link-chia], the [Intro to Chia][link-intro], and [FAQ][link-faq] for information on this project.
Python 3.8.1+ is required. Make sure your default python version is >=3.8.1 by typing `python3`.
If you are behind a NAT, it can be difficult for peers outside your subnet to reach you when they start up. You can enable [UPnP][link-upnp]
on your router or add a NAT (for IPv4 but not IPv6) and firewall rules to allow TCP port 8444 access to your peer.
These methods tend to be router make/model specific.
Most users should only install harvesters, farmers, plotter, full nodes, and wallets.
Setting up a seeder is best left to more advanced users.
Building Timelords and VDFs is for sophisticated users, in most environments.
Chia Network and additional volunteers are running sufficient Timelords for consensus.
## Installing
Install instructions are available in the [Installation Details][link-install] section of the [Chia Docs][link-docs].
## Running
Once installed, an [Intro to Chia][link-intro] guide is available in the [Chia Docs][link-docs].
