### Develop
Monero is primarily written in C++. As it is a decentralized project, anyone is welcome to add or make changes to existing code. Pull requests are merged based on community consensus. See the <a href="https://github.com/monero-project"> repositories</a> and outstanding <a href="https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues">issues</a>.
### Run a Full Node
Run monerod with port 18080 open. Running a full node ensures maximum privacy when transacting with Monero. It also improves distribution of the blockchain to new users.
### Mine
Mining ensures the Monero network remains decentralized and secure. In the Monero graphical user interface and command-line interface, background mining may be activated. Additional resources for mining may be viewed [here](https://reddit.com/r/MoneroMining).

<p>Monero utilizes a <a href="https://forum.getmonero.org">forum funding system</a> whereby projects are proposed for development and community-funded. Funding is held in escrow and remunerated to developers once programming milestones are achieved. Anyone may generate new proposals or fund existing ones.</p>
