To participate as a validator node in our network, follow these steps. Please ensure your system meets the minimum requirements before proceeding. This validator node needs to run continuously, just like any other node in the network. So, make sure you have a stable internet connection and that the system remains on.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows 10 or later
- At least 8 GB of RAM
- A stable internet connection
Steps to Set Up the Validator Node:
1.Download the Validator Node Software
First, download the necessary validator node files from the Centichain – Download on our website. This page will provide you with the required software and commands.
2.Generate or Enter Your Keypair
To become a validator, you’ll need a unique keypair. If you don’t have one, you can generate it easily by following these steps:
-
- Generate Keypair: Click the “Generate” button to create a new keypair.
- Enter Your Keypair: If you already have a keypair, click “I Have” and enter it in the designated area.
- Generate Keypair: Click the “Generate” button to create a new keypair.
3.Start the Validator Node
After you’ve entered your keypair, click the “Start” button to begin the process. The node will connect to a relay node, synchronize with the network, and join the validator process.

4.Synchronization May Take Time
Please note that syncing with the network may take some time, depending on the current state of the blockchain. Be patient and allow the node enough time to fully synchronize. This process can take anywhere from several minutes to longer, depending on the network activity and the system’s performance.
5.Ensure the Node Runs Continuously
Just like all nodes, your validator needs to remain running to participate in the network. This requires your server or computer to stay on with a stable internet connection.
Your validator node must be continuously connected to the network to perform its role of validating transactions. A reliable and consistent internet connection is essential for maintaining synchronization with the blockchain and ensuring the security and performance of the network.
6.监控验证者节点
您可以监控节点的状态并检查更新。请务必使验证者节点保持最新状态,以便正常运行。您将通过验证器软件接收重要更新,因此请务必在出现提示时应用任何必要的更新。
7.保持更新
随着网络的发展,将定期发布更新和补丁。始终确保您运行的是最新版本的软件,以避免任何安全风险并确保节点平稳运行。
- 应用程序中的“更新”按钮将通知您可用的更新。
8.In 非活动节点
的情况如果您注意到验证程序节点处于非活动状态,请导航到项目文件夹并找到该文件。截取日志的屏幕截图并在社交媒体上与我们分享,以便我们进一步为您提供帮助。这将有助于我们诊断和解决问题。centichain.log
重要说明:
- 持续运行:您的验证者节点应持续运行以参与验证网络。确保您的服务器或 PC 始终保持开启并连接到互联网。
- 同步时间:请注意,与网络同步可能需要一些时间。请耐心等待,并在期待完整功能之前让节点完全同步。
- 定期更新:始终使您的验证器软件保持最新状态,以从最新的改进、安全补丁和功能中受益。
- 检查日志:如果您遇到任何问题,您可以查看日志以监控验证者的活动并检查是否有任何错误。
