# The Instructions

- [The Whitepaper](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/the-whitepaper.md)
- [Steps to Run the Network](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/steps-to-run-the-network.md)
- [Step 1](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/step-1.md): New transactions are broadcast to all nodes
- [Step 2](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/step-2.md): Each node collects new transactions into a block
- [Step 3](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/step-3.md): Each node works on finding a difficult proof-of-work block
- [Step 4](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/step-4.md): When a node finds a proof-of-work, it broadcasts the block to all nodes
- [Step 5](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/step-5.md): Nodes accept the block only if all transactions in it are valid and not already spent
- [Step 6](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bsv-infrastructure/the-instructions/step-6.md): Nodes express their acceptance of the block by working on creating the next block in the chain, using the hash of the accepted block as the previous hash
