Getting started
Before we start, there are a couple of prerequisites you will need:
- ✅ A running mainnet (production) instance of cardano-node.
- If you are an SPO, we recommend running this on one of your relays.
- Follow the official Cardano node documentation to install and run your instance otherwise.
- ✅ A reward address with the Icebreaker NFT License (provided by the Blockfrost team upon acceptance to the programme).
- ✅ A secret for your Icebreaker account (also provided by the Blockfrost team).
💡
If you want to run the backend as your own instance, use the solitary mode
(--solitary command line option) to avoid joining the Blockfrost cluster.
