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](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tmRIb7lgi4QfKkNaxuKOBHRmwbVlGL4f7EsBDr_5xZE/edit) 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](https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Chia-Seeder-User-Guide), 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](https://chialisp.com/) for money related use cases
|
|
* BLS keys and aggregate signatures (only one signature per block)
|
|
* [Pooling protocol](https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Pooling-User-Guide) 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
|

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](https://www.homenethowto.com/ports-and-nat/upnp-automatic-port-forward/)
|
|
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.
