lite🚀 Join the Dandelion Network!
Join as a DNO (Dandelion Node Operator) to help students and developers build with ease and help us decentralize Cardano dapps and services further
What is Dandelion?
Dandelion is a community-supported project led by GimbaLabs and operated by La PEACEpool Cardano repsistâ‚łnce. Every Cardano API available. From bottom to top, from testnet to mainnet.
Dandelion Lite is a convenient way of deploying your own local Cardano Node and a set of Dandelion APIs. It uses docker-compose, podman and handy scripts to ease setup.
Become a Node Operator
DNOs will be incentivized in the future. We are actively working on modular, client-side revenue channels and alternative compensation methods for your efforts.
