🌐 HVN – Global Internet Money
⚡ How to Download, Run a Node & Mine HVN (Mainnet)
HVN is a CPU-only RandomX Layer-1 blockchain with fair mining and no premine.
Anyone can run a node and mine instantly using any desktop or server CPU.
This guide explains exactly how to:
✔ Download the official HVN node binary
✔ Join the HVN mainnet
✔ Start mining HVN instantly
✔ Verify your miner is on the correct chain
This is the same setup used by the official seed nodes and developer nodes.
1. 📥 Download the Official HVN Mainnet Binary
You can always download the latest trusted binary from the mainnet seed:
wget
https://hvngim.org/static/bin/havend-mainnet -O havend
sudo mkdir -p /opt/haven
sudo mv havend /opt/haven/havend
sudo chmod +x /opt/haven/havend
This installs the HVN node into:
/opt/haven/havend
2. 📂 Create the HVN Data Directory
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/haven
This folder will store blockchain data and your node’s state.
3. 🚀 Start Your HVN Node & Begin Mining
Replace <YOUR_HVN_ADDRESS> with your HVN wallet address.
/opt/haven/havend \
--data-dir=/var/lib/haven \
--p2p-bind=0.0.0.0:4000 \
--rpc-bind=127.0.0.1:4001 \
--coinbase-address=<YOUR_HVN_ADDRESS> \
--peer=46.224.87.212:4000 \
--peer=77.42.21.48:4002
What this does:
Connects you to HVN Mainnet
Syncs the blockchain from the official seed nodes
Starts mining immediately using your CPU
→ Rewards go to your HVN address
Exposes a local RPC server at:
http://127.0.0.1:4001/statusHVN uses an implicit built-in miner — no separate miner program is required.
4. 🔍 Verify You Are Synced to HVN Mainnet
Check your local node status:
curl -s
http://127.0.0.1:4001/statusCheck the official mainnet explorer:
curl -s
https://hvngim.org/api/hvn/statusIf the height values are close or equal, your node is successfully synced.
5. 💰 Confirm You Are Mining
As soon as your node is running, you will see logs like:
Mined block #1234 → reward: 7200 HVN
To check your mining progress programmatically:
curl -s
http://127.0.0.1:4001/statusYour total_mined value will increase over time.
6. 🛑 Stopping and Restarting Your Node
Stop:
sudo pkill -f havend
Start again:
/opt/haven/havend --data-dir=/var/lib/haven ...
7. ⚙️ Optional: Run HVN Node as a System Service
Create a systemd service (Linux):
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/havend.service
Paste:
[Unit]
Description=Haven HVN Node
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/opt/haven/havend \
--data-dir=/var/lib/haven \
--p2p-bind=0.0.0.0:4000 \
--rpc-bind=127.0.0.1:4001 \
--coinbase-address=<YOUR_HVN_ADDRESS> \
--peer=46.224.87.212:4000 \
--peer=77.42.21.48:4002
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Enable + start:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable havend
sudo systemctl start havend
sudo systemctl status havend
