Check Your CPU & Download
DAPA provides separate binaries for Intel and AMD processors. Run this command to check your CPU:
Extract & Prepare
Unzip the downloaded file and make the binaries executable:
Start Your Node
Run the daemon and connect to the official DAPA network:
Your node will begin syncing. Watch the topoheight climb — when it matches explorer.dapahe.com you are fully synced.
Create Your Wallet
Open a new terminal and create your DAPA wallet:
Follow the prompts — choose Create new wallet, set a strong password, and your wallet address starting with dap: will be generated.
Prefer a GUI? Use the Web Wallet — no download needed, works in any browser. Or download the ZODIAC Wallet for desktop and mobile.
Start Mining (Optional)
Earn DAPA by mining with your CPU. Open another terminal:
Replace YOUR_DAP_ADDRESS --num-threads 4 --worker sigma with your wallet address. Mining rewards go directly to your wallet on every block you solve.
Verify You Are On The Correct Chain
Check your genesis block hash matches the official DAPA genesis. This proves you are on the real DAPA network and not a fake chain:
Your node must return exactly this hash:
If the hash matches — you are on the authentic DAPA blockchain. ✅
