Running Zebra

zebrad generate generates a default config. These defaults will be used if no config is present, so it's not necessary to generate a config. However, having a config file with the default fields is a useful starting point for changing the config.

The configuration format is the TOML encoding of the internal config structure, and documentation for all of the config options can be found here.

• zebrad start starts a full node.

You can run Zebra as a:

• lightwalletd backend,
• mining backend, or
• experimental Sapling shielded transaction scanner.

Supported versions

Always run a supported version of Zebra, and upgrade it regularly, so it doesn't become unsupported and halt. More information.
