You can quickly build and run a NEM node using the NIS (NEM Infrastructure Server) project, which includes all necessary parts like core, deploy, peer, and nis modules. To build it, you need Java 11 or higher and Apache Maven. After building and testing, configure your node by placing property files in a folder named "staging" and start the node with a Java command allocating at least 6GB RAM. You can also set up a testnet node by creating a specific config file. This setup helps you run and manage a secure NEM blockchain node efficiently, supporting blockchain validation and network participation. Detailed docs and community support are available for help.

#Policy_Brief: Coercion Over Consent: #Ethiopia’s dangerous mandatory Digital ID experiment
In this policy brief, Mohamed A. argues that Ethiopia's mandatory Digital ID (#Fayda) is a "flawed and dangerous policy," not because identification itself is problematic, but because enforcement lacks legal safeguards. He emphasizes that centralizing sensitive data risks turning governance into a tool of "surveillance, control, and exclusion."
According to him, Ethiopia is "importing the concept as if it were a proven model." In Ethiopia's fragile institutional context, this amounts to "recklessness disguised as modernization," especially with foreign funding raising unresolved questions about "who controls the data."
The author urges authorities to "pause enforcement" until trust and oversight are established, arguing that without them, mandatory ID is "not progress—it is a poorly designed and dangerous policy."
