To use WrkzCoin, you'll need a way to connect to the network, and a wallet to hold your funds. This software includes those things for you, you can compile it yourself, or you can download the ones that we have compiled for you.

Minimum requirements to run a Wrkzd daemon node:

• A pruned node (--prune) discards raw block and transaction binary data for blocks older than the configured depth (default: 7 days ≈ 10,080 blocks). Block metadata, key images, and transaction indexes are retained for the full chain, so consensus and wallet sync remain functional.
• A full node retains raw block and transaction data for the entire blockchain history.
• SSD or NVMe storage is required. HDDs are too slow for RocksDB random I/O and will cause severe sync delays or daemon instability.
• Disk usage grows over time as the chain advances — provision extra headroom.
• RAM shown covers the daemon alone; allow more if also running wrkz-service or a miner on the same machine.

The prune depth controls how many recent blocks keep their raw data. The default is 7 days worth of blocks (--prune-depth can increase this). Use --prune-depth N to retain more history.

Building from source requires at least 4 GB RAM for the compiler (RocksDB and C++20 templates are memory-intensive at compile time).

Build instructions are maintained in:

• COMPILE.md
• Cross-platform build guide

Everyone starts somewhere. If you're new or returning, you'll probably want to get in sync with the network so you can use your funds. Syncing from your own node is faster than syncing from a remote node. Here are some handy links to get you there as soon as possible.

• Use checkpoints - Checkpoints help your node sync faster, WrkzCoin Checkpoints or via Direct link
• Backup your keys - You can generate a wallet right inside the software, or use this paper wallet generator

• The daemon can compact RocksDB in background while syncing.
• Boot-time background compaction is enabled by default.
• Disable boot compaction with --skip-boot-compaction.
• Check status from daemon console: compact_db status.
• Manual controls: compact_db start and compact_db wait.

• Default daemon ZMQ PUB endpoint: tcp://127.0.0.1:17857
• Start daemon with explicit endpoint:
  • Wrkzd --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:17857
• Test subscriber script:
  • pip install pyzmq
  • python scripts/zmq_sub_test.py --endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:17857 --topics hashblock chain_main

Build requirements and static/portable notes are in COMPILE.md.
