Heat Blockchain

Heat Blockchain has been running since januari 2017. Heat Blockchain was written from scratch on the Java platform.

Heat Blockchain has 1 new block every 30 seconds and supports both user defined assets (similar to ERC20 tokens) and it has an online DEX protocol which supports asset to asset and asset to HEAT markets.

Run your own node

Anyone can run a HEAT node to support the Heat network and mine blocks.

There are several ways to run the Java p2p server code.

Docker Install

The easiest way is probably through the official docker images.

Docker Hub: heatcrypto/heatledger

Bare metal install

An alternative approach is to download the latest release here Github.com heatcrypto/heatledger. Just download the zip file for the latest release heatledger-4.3.0.zip and extract its contents. Find the server starter script for your platform and run that on the comand line heatledger.bat for Windows heatledger.sh for Mac and Linux.

Make sure you have Java SDK 10 or higher installed.
