GRID Genesis Pilot

Mine GRID. Verify the chain. Support the network.

The fastest path is grid mine: it is a P2P block replica plus a proof-of-resource miner. It does not host web services or game servers.

1 · Install and identify

# 1. Install the official binary
curl -fsSL https://grid-compute.com/downloads/install.sh | bash

# 2. Create your node identity and coordinator configuration
grid init --name my-miner --class S

# 3. Protect and unlock your node keys
grid auth keyphrase

Keep the recovery phrase offline. Your node identity and encrypted P2P key stay on your device.

2 · Mine + verify

# 4. Start mining and synchronize with Genesis
grid mine

grid mine connects to the canonical Genesis peer, verifies its signed chain, synchronizes the local replica, and then starts mining work. Your node does not create or mine an independent blockchain.

3 · Optional external reward rail

grid solana create
grid solana status

Native GRID rewards require no Solana wallet. Configure this only to test the optional Solana devnet compatibility rail.

Support without mining

grid peer --with-bench

Run an encrypted P2P replica that syncs and verifies the chain, with no proof-of-resource work and no reward expectation.

Help the mesh

For inbound peers, forward TCP 9900 to your machine. Outbound-only mining still works, but an open port makes the mesh more resilient. The public globe is optional and publishes only coarse location—not your IP, port, wallet, or coordinator URL.

What comes next

P2P container hosting, in stages.

  1. 01 · Runtime
    Engine installs containerd, nerdctl, and the encrypted-volume backend.
  2. 02 · Protected storage
    Each service gets a unique vault-wrapped volume key; containers never receive vault access.
  3. 03 · Approved services
    First template: Git-backed Caddy, exposed through a GRID tunnel rather than a direct host port.
