Particl Core

Setup

Particl Core is the original Particl client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Particl transactions, which requires a few gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Particl Core, visit particl.io.

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Particl Core on your native platform.

Windows
