How to bring a CPH node online.
The shortest trustworthy path for a new operator.
Start CPH Core
Run the node and wait until it reaches a fully loaded state before checking peers or opening the wallet flow.
Connect to the bootstrap layer
Use the live DNS seeds or bootstrap nodes so your node lands on the same public network that backs cphcore.org.
Verify health and peers
Check peer count, explorer visibility, and health endpoints to make sure the node is attached to the expected network.
