Contribution

Pactus is an open-source platform that thrives on the contributions of its community. Whether you’re a developer, designer, or enthusiast, your involvement can truly make a difference.

Here are some of the ways you can support the Pactus project:

Run a Node

One of the most effective ways to contribute to the Pactus network is by running a node. A “node” is a software program that downloads a copy of the Pactus blockchain and helps ensure the network stays secure, reliable, and decentralized.

These guides will help you run and configure your node:

Become a Validator

Validators play a crucial role in the Pactus blockchain by verifying transactions and adding them to the blockchain. By becoming a validator, you can earn rewards for contributing to the network’s security and decentralization.

To become a validator, you will need to stake a certain amount of Pactus coins. These guides can help you send a Bond transaction and stake your coins:

Contribute to the Testnet

The Pactus testnet provides a safe environment for experimenting with new features, testing applications, and improving the network before changes go live on mainnet. Contributing to the testnet helps strengthen the stability of Pactus and accelerates development.

Here are some ways to get involved:

  • Run a node on the testnet to help maintain stability.
  • Test new releases and report bugs or unexpected behavior.
  • Provide feedback on new features and improvements.
  • Join community discussions and share your testnet experience.

Check out the Testnet Documentation for setup instructions and details on how you can participate.
