Run your own node.

A full DigiByte Core node validates the whole chain yourself — no trust required — and it's what you'll need to use DigiDollar at activation. Pick your system for the minimum specs and exact steps.

1 · Choose your system

2 · Minimum requirements

Tip — pruned mode. Adding prune=2000 to your config keeps only a few GB of recent blocks instead of the full ~40 GB history, while still fully validating. It runs everything DigiDollar needs. Great for laptops and small machines.

3 · Steps

Stay safe: download only from the official GitHub releases — fake wallet downloads are a common theft vector. After install, encrypt your wallet and back up your recovery info. Verify the version number once it's running.
