⬇ Download for LinuxSince this is a beta release, Windows Defender SmartScreen may show an "Unknown Publisher" warning. This is normal for new software without a code signing certificate. Click "Keep" → "Keep anyway" to proceed. You can verify the file integrity using the SHA-512 checksum below.
The macOS download is a .command installer file.
After downloading, macOS Gatekeeper may block it. To run:
Right-click the file → Open → Open.
Terminal will open and automatically download, verify, and install
Positronic.app
to your Applications folder. No source code is downloaded — only the compiled binary.
If macOS still blocks the app after install, go to
System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway".
Download the .sh installer script.
Open a terminal and run:
chmod +x Positronic-Installer.sh && ./Positronic-Installer.sh
— the script will download, verify (SHA-512), and install the compiled binary
to ~/.local/bin/.
It also creates a desktop menu entry. No sudo required. No source code is downloaded.
Download and verify the entire Positronic blockchain. Your node independently validates every block and transaction — no trust required.
Run the distributed AI that validates transactions in real-time. Each node is part of a global AI army detecting fraud, anomalies, and attacks.
Validators earn ASF coins for proposing blocks and validating transactions. Stake 32+ ASF to activate your validator and start earning.
The node binary is compiled into a single encrypted executable. UPX compression and SHA-512 integrity verification protect the code.
Windows: Run Positronic.exe directly — no installation needed. If SmartScreen warns, click "Keep" → "Keep anyway".
macOS: Download Positronic-Installer.command, right-click → Open → Open. Terminal will auto-download, verify, and install the app to /Applications.
Linux: Download Positronic-Installer.sh, then run chmod +x Positronic-Installer.sh && ./Positronic-Installer.sh in terminal. Installs to ~/.local/bin/.
Data is stored at %APPDATA%\Positronic\ (Win), ~/Library/Application Support/Positronic/ (Mac), or ~/.positronic/ (Linux).
Go to the Wallet tab in the app. Click Create to generate a new wallet. Save your password securely — it encrypts your private keys with AES-256.
You need at least 32 ASF to become a validator. During beta, use the Faucet to get test tokens.
Go to the Validator tab. Enter the amount (minimum 32 ASF), your wallet address, and password. Click Stake ASF to activate your validator.
Your validator activates at the next epoch (every ~6 minutes). You'll see your status change to ACTIVE and start earning block rewards automatically.
Every release includes a SHA-512 checksum. Verify your download matches:
Yes. The node binary is compiled into a single encrypted executable with UPX compression and SHA-512 integrity verification. It runs as a standard user process with no elevated privileges required.
On Windows: %APPDATA%\Positronic\. On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Positronic/. On Linux: ~/.positronic/
Yes! The node works on any 64-bit machine. For headless servers, run with the --founder flag for CLI mode.
Block rewards are distributed to active validators proportional to their stake. The exact amount depends on network activity, total validators, and your uptime.
Yes. Go to the Validator tab and click Unstake. Your tokens will be released after the current epoch ends.
