What the DMG contains
Embedded validator node
Full NarwhalTusk DAG BFT client, auto-updating from GitHub releases every 5 minutes.
TUI dashboard
Live chain height, peer table, block feed, and resource counters. No browser needed.
Thor pre-installed
The full Thor agent binary ships inside the DMG. Type the /thor slash in the app and go.
Payment channel helper
Open, stream, and close hspace_pay channels from the UI without touching the CLI.
Zero config
On first launch it wires up keys, joins bootnodes, and starts syncing. Nothing to edit.
Self-healing sync
Chaindata persists across updates. If the binary crashes, the supervisor restarts it.

System requirements
  • macOS 13 Ventura or later
  • Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)
  • 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB recommended
  • 20 GB free disk (chaindata grows ~2 GB/month)
  • Broadband connection for block sync
  • Outbound access to port 4001 (libp2p)
First launch (60 seconds)
  1. Open the DMG and drag to Applications
  2. Launch. Gatekeeper prompt will pass (signed build)
  3. App generates a new Ed25519 identity key
  4. TUI opens; block sync begins against bootnodes
  5. Status turns green once ~99% synced
  6. Press /thor to start chatting
Auto-update

The embedded supervisor polls GitHub releases every 5 minutes. When a new chain binary is published, the running node shuts down gracefully, swaps the binary, and restarts. Your chaindata persists across upgrades.
