Getting started
Before we start, there are several prerequisites you will need:
- ✅ A running mainnet (production) instance of cardano-node with a public IP address.
- If you are an SPO, we recommend running Blockfrost platform on one of your relays.
- Otherwise, to install and run your instance, refer to the official Cardano node documentation .
- As an alternative, you can install and run the Daedalus full-node wallet .
- ✅ A reward address with the Icebreaker NFT License (provided by the Blockfrost team upon acceptance to the program).
- ✅ 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.
Do you have everything needed? Let’s move to the installation.
