# Installation

Validators can be installed and used for different "flavours" of the Network. As a first release, Trac Network starts with a specific app called Hypermall - a fast DEX for Bitcoin assets on the [TAP Protocol](https://tap-protocol.com).

Please continue with the validator setup for Hypermall if you intend to make use of your validator license and benefit from trading fees.

Note: Upon Trac Network mainnet release, Trac turns into a multi-purpose network and validators will be rewarded in $TNK for transactions they validate.
