Three ways to get online, fast

Whether you’re a developer or a casual app user, you can spin up your own Kinode within minutes and get started exploring the ecosystem.

//: 01

Run a hosted Kinode

The easiest and most flexible way to join the Kinode network is to have your node hosted by a professional service. Access is possible via a web browser or mobile app.

Self-host a node

The best option for developers and power users, running a node on a home server or VPS instance offers the most control over your identity and data.
