How to Start

Pokio offers simple steps to get involved, whether you want to use a wallet, mine POKIO, run a server, or operate a mining pool.

Other Ethereum-compatible wallets may work but are not prioritized for official support at this time.

MetaMask Connection Details

Network Name: Pokio Mainnet

RPC URL: https://node1.pokio.xyz/rpc

Chain ID: 850401

Symbol: POKIO

Explorer: https://explorer.pokio.xyz

How to Start Mining

To begin mining POKIO:

  1. Download the miner from: Pokio Miner Releases
  2. Run the following command:
pokiominer --w WALLET_ADDRESS

Replace WALLET_ADDRESS with your own Pokio-compatible address.

Optional Parameters:

  • --t THREADS → Set the number of CPU threads to use.
  • --i INTENSITY → Set mining intensity (from 1 upwards). Higher intensity may lead to more coins and blocks.
  • --o POOL_URL → Specify a mining pool URL (default is pokio.xyz).

How to Run a Server

  1. Download the server software from: Pokio Server Releases
  2. Edit the pokio.json file and add your private key. This is essential in order to sign the blocks.
  3. Execute the binary on your machine.

It is recommended (but not required) to have ports 30303 and 5555 open for better connectivity.

How to Run a Mining Pool

Running a mining pool follows the same process as running a server, but having ports 30303 and 5555 accessible is mandatory.

By default, the mining pool fee is 5%. You can adjust the fee with:

pokio --fee FEE_VALUE

Where FEE_VALUE is between 0 and 30.
