Instructions

Run a light validator

Light validator is a type of node that performs availability validation solely through data sampling without participating in data sharding synchronization. It is also part of a consensus network. These nodes can participate in voting but will not act as proposers to generate new blocks. You can follow the steps below to start a light validator:

Download and run the setup script:

Open your terminal and execute the following command to download and run the script:

curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DillLabs/launch-dill-node/main/launch_dill_node.sh  && chmod +x launch_dill_node.sh && ./launch_dill_node.sh

If the dill node launched successfully, you will get an output similar to this:

node running, congratulations 😄
validator pubkey: xxxxxx
Please backup $YOUR_SCRIPT_PATH/dill/validator_keys/mnemonic-$TIMESTAMP.txt. Required for recovery and migration. Important ！！！

Staking

First, get faucet into your wallet from the Andes channel. Use a different wallet than the one you created in Node and remember that you can only receive faucet once ($request xxxxx)
visit https://staking.dill.xyz/

Here you will upload your file with deposit_data-xxxx.json extension. If you want, you can create this file yourself. To do this, you can create and upload a file named deposit_data-xxxx.json with the output you receive using this code.

cat ./dill/validator_keys/deposit_data-xxxx.json

After uploading the deposit_data-xxxx.json file to the site, click Connect to MetaMask, make sure you have enough funds (>2500 DILL)

Send deposit, using MetaMask to send a deposit transaction

Yes, that's all. After these operations, you can check it with your public key in the validators section in Explorer https://andes.dill.xyz/validators. It may take 0.5~1 hour to appear.
