The network configuration is specified using the --chain flag and the --bootnodes flag, which specifies the initial nodes to connect to.

ChainSpecs

Creditcoin networks are configured using a ChainSpec. The ChainSpec is a JSON file that defines the initial configuration of the network. To use a ChainSpec, use the --chain flag when starting the node.

Bootnodes

Bootnodes are nodes that are always on and can be used to bootstrap new nodes and discover other nodes in the network. To use a bootnode, use the --bootnodes flag when starting the node followed by the bootnode's address.

ChainSpec and Bootnode values to use for Mainnet and Testnet

For a list of available bootnodes, please refer to the Mainnet and Testnet quickstart documents.
