Open a terminal and run:
chmod +x Positronic-Node-0.3.2.AppImage && ./Positronic-Node-0.3.2.AppImage
The binary is a single compiled executable — no dependencies or installation required.
To install system-wide: sudo mv Positronic /usr/local/bin/.
Data is stored at ~/.positronic/.
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 "More info" → "Run anyway".
macOS: Mount the .dmg, drag Positronic.app to Applications. Open Terminal and run xattr -cr /Applications/Positronic.app, then launch.
Linux: Extract .tar.gz, then run chmod +x Positronic && ./Positronic in terminal.
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. Use the Faucet to get 50 ASF — stake 32 to become a validator!
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.
