# Karura Network

Karura is a parachain of the Kusama Relay chain, with all of its network security and consensus provided by Kusama's Validator set. As a [Substrate](https://www.substrate.io/)-based chain, most of Karura's integration points are the same as Kusama and Polkadot. As a parachain specifically though, the key differences will be outlined in this document.

This guide contains the following sections:

1. [Protocol Info](/integrate/karura/protocol-info.md)
2. [Token Transfer](/integrate/karura/token-transfer.md)
3. [Networks](/integrate/karura/endpoints.md)
4. [Run a Full Node](/integrate/karura/full-node.md)
5. [Run a Collator Node](/integrate/karura/collator.md)
