## Configure a chain source

With the Bark CLI, pass only `--ark`: it falls back to the Esplora endpoint for your network when you don't pass `--esplora` or `--bitcoind`. The Bark SDK and `barkd` require an explicit chain source, so set the Esplora endpoint when you configure the wallet, or point them at your own `bitcoind` node instead.
