Operation of Shield Node

To operate a Shield, users need to download and utilize the core library available for command line interface (CLI) applications and desktop applications. These applications act as wrappers for the Shield software provided by the core library.

The core library automates all steps required to run a Shield, simplifying setup and operation, making it accessible for users with varying levels of technical skills. It handles tasks such as setting up the Shield environment, managing node operations, and interacting with the Referee. It also provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring node status and managing settings, allowing users to focus on strategic aspects of node operation like optimizing performance and maximizing rewards.
