## Testnet

Your Bee node needs BZZ to be able to properly interact with the network. In order to receive these, you will need to acquire BZZ, then bridge your BZZ to the XDAI chain.

To bridge your XDAI, you may use [omni bridge](https://omni.xdaichain.com/bridge).

To work out what your node's Ethereum address is, please consult your relevant installation guide or check your logs!

```yaml
mainnet: true

#### Full Node or Light Node
Since Bee can take a lot of resources when providing services to the network in exchange for BZZ, a Bee node starts off in Light Node mode by default. To allow your Bee to use your network bandwidth and computing resources to serve the network and start [cashing out](/docs/working-with-bee/cashing-out) cheques, set the `--full-node` flag to `true`.
