KrovaCoin is pre-launch. There is no public mainnet or testnet yet – everything below applies to -regtest, a private local chain you control, which is the right way to try the software before a public network exists.

What you need

• A build of krovad (the daemon) or krova-qt (the GUI wallet) – see Node Setup to build from source.
• For regtest, nothing else: no peers, no internet connection required. You mine your own blocks on demand.

The absolute minimum

src/krovad -regtest -daemon -datadir=/tmp/krova-regtest
src/krova-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/krova-regtest getblockchaininfo

That starts a private chain at height 0 (genesis) and confirms the daemon is answering RPC calls. From here:

• How Staking Works – how blocks get produced without mining.
• Cold Staking – delegating stake without giving up spending keys.
• RPC Reference – the commands you’ll actually use.

Wallets

A full GUI wallet (krova-qt) ships from the same source tree as krovad. A non-custodial web wallet and mobile wallets are planned for after the public testnet launches – see Downloads.
