MyKAI

Run a Kaspa node in 1 click.

Help the network get over 1000 nodes. For non-tech users.

Download the installer

Latest: v0.3.23 · released 12 days ago

Available for Windows 10/11. (Mac and Linux will follow on request.)

What will happen?

  1. Press “Download the installer”.
  2. Chrome may warn the file “isn’t commonly downloaded”. Click Keep to release it — otherwise the file sits at full size as a .crdownload and never renames itself to the installer.
  3. After the download finishes, double-click the installer and sit back — the node starts itself.

Notes

  • Because this is a new file, you’ll see Windows warnings. Click More info → Run anyway. If someone wants to donate $700 we can remove the warning by buying a year-long signing certificate. Otherwise it goes away by itself after a few thousand installs.
  • Syncing takes several hours the first time. Two progress bars keep you posted.

Why run a node?

Stronger network

More nodes make Kaspa more resilient against attacks.

Institutional-ready

Institutional players need a robust network. The more nodes, the more valuable Kaspa becomes for them.
