A Polkadot [collator](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/en/learn-collator) for the parachain is
implemented by [`cumulus-collator`](collator).
# Statemint 🪙
This repository also contains the Statemint runtime (as well as the canary runtime Statemine and the
test runtime Westmint).
Statemint is a common good parachain providing an asset store for the Polkadot ecosystem.
## Build & Launch a Node
To run a Statemine or Westmint node (Statemint is not deployed, yet) you will need to compile the
`polkadot-collator` binary:
```sh
cargo build --release --locked -p polkadot-collator
```
Once the executable is built, launch the parachain node via:
```sh
CHAIN=westmint # or statemine
./target/release/polkadot-collator --chain $CHAIN
```
Refer to the [setup instructions below](#local-setup) to run a local network for development.

chain, and from the relay chain to its destination parachain.
