  1. Connect to the CENNZnet network

You can access Centrality’s network in two ways, by either downloading Centrality’s node software rUN or downloading Centrality’s infrastructure app UNfrastructure. To participate in the network, you’ll need to ensure you have Centrality tokens, CENNZ. If you don’t have tokens, get in touch with Centrality’s team support at support@centrality.ai

2. Set up the development environment

The programming language required is Rust. If you’re new to Rust, it’s a good idea to learn the basics using this tutorial. For Mac, Linux and Windows,download Rust and a few other tools here.

3. Read up on resources

Check out our handy documentation on how to participate in the CENNZnet network. If you’re new to blockchain development, we’ve developed a tutorial using our Spin2Win app that will walk you through the basics of setting up CENNZnet node for development and testing. It is available for iOS, Linux and Windows. Before you get started, make sure you have Docker installed. If you’re keen to build a core protocol, start by following this tutorial.

4. Use our code library to start building

The Centrality Developer Portal provides all the tools you need to build cool shit. Start by heading over to the code library to access the SDKs and protocols you need for your decentralised project.

5. Publish

Once you build a DApp, you can publish it using traditional app store channels. If you want your DApp to go live in a decentralised environment, you can publish it within Sylo’s marketplace. Get in touch for access to Sylo’s platform here.
