# Introduction to Shadow Network ### Project overview Shadow Network is a decentralized platform designed to empower users to contribute to network security and earn rewards by running validator nodes. Users have two options: a browser-based node accessible through the Shadow Network dashboard or a command-line interface (CLI) node that offers up to 50 times more SHDW tokens—the native currency of the Shadow Network. The platform integrates seamlessly with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible wallets, ensuring accessibility and ease of use. ### Key features * **Browser Node**: Run a lightweight node directly in your browser with minimal setup. * **CLI Node**: Unlock higher rewards and advanced control by running a node via CLI. * **EVM Wallet Support**: Compatible with wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and others. * **Scalable Rewards**: Earn SHDW tokens based on node performance and uptime. ### Benefits * **Accessibility**: Start with a browser node in minutes. * **Profitability**: Maximize earnings with the CLI node option. * **Community-Driven**: Join a growing network of validators securing Shadow Network. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
