# Installation and Setup
#### Who this guide is for
The blockchain code currently consists of a full node daemon (`kvd`) and it's command line interface (`kvcli`).
The code currently consists of a full node daemon (`kvd`) and it's command line interface (`kvcli`).
Full nodes are fairly resource intensive and are designed to be run continuously on servers, primarily by people validating the network. While it is possible to run locally it is not recommended unless for development purposes. In the future light clients will enable secure transactions for clients.
A **full node** syncs with the blockchain and processes transactions. A **validator** is a full node that has declared itself to be a "validator" on chain. This obligates it to participate in consensus by proposing and signing blocks and maintaining uptime. By not following the protocol, the validator's stake will be slashed.
Use the following instructions to set up a full node, and to optionally declare yourself as a validator.

# Basic Usage
>The following commands require communication with a full node. By default they expect one to be running locally (accessible on localhost), but a remote can be provided with the `--node` flag.
