+# Backend
+
+[[toc]]
+
+
+The Wasabi backend creates and serves the block filters to the Wasabi clients that use these to synchronize their wallet.
+
+The filters Wasabi uses are custom filters (not the same block filters bitcoind creates), as they are native segwit v0 and native segwit v1 only.
+
+The bitcoin node, used for the backend, can be pruned.
+
+## How to run a Backend
+
+- Dependencies:
+Same (dotnet) dependencies as the Wasabi client + bitcoind (can be Bitcoin Core or Knots).
+
+### Manually
+
+A backend can be run in the following way:
+
+- Clone the Wasabi repository
+
+```
+git clone --depth=1 --single-branch --branch=master https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi.git
+```
+
+- Navigate to the Backend directory
+
+```
+cd WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi.Backend
+```
+
+Start 
+- Run the Backend to create the backend data directory
+``` 
+dotnet run
+```
+
+The data directory is now created in ~/.walletwasabi/backend.
+
+The config needs to be edited for the Wasabi backend to communicate to bitcoind.
+
+Edit the following line in the backend `Config.json` file:
+```
+"BitcoinRpcConnectionString": "user:password",
+```
+
+Enter the bitcoin RPC username and password.
+Or specify the cookie file.
+
+Save the changes.
+Now run bitcoind and the Wasabi backend.
+It will start generating the filters.
+
+### Using nix
+
+The backend can be run using nix.
+This will download and install all Wasabi dependencies (not bitcoind).
+
+Nix needs to be installed, then execute `nix build` in the WalletWasabi root directory.
+
+Alternatively `nix build .#all` can be run, which will build and run the tests.
+
+After running nix build a directory is created called `result`, this contains: bin, lib, deploy.
+bin contains executables, inlcuding WalletWasabi.Backend and should be run to start the backend.

+# Backend & Coordinator
+
+This is the place with documentation about how a Wasabi backend and coordinator work and how they can be run.
+
+A backend is necessary for Wasabi users to synchronize their wallet.
+
+A coordinator is necessary for Wasabi users to be able to coinjoin.
