    Validator Approval

    Congratulations on having your validator approved! We're very excited to have you spin up your validator node and join us online. Please find the next steps below. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

    IP Whitelisting

    For IP whitelisting requests, please fill this form.

    Important: Whitelisting is required for your validator node to communicate with the network environments.

    Deploy Your Validator

    • Set up your own node using the public docs.

    • Alternatively, ask one of our partners to spin up your validator node today. Reach out via email to any of them for more information.

    Note: Partner deployment can significantly speed up setup if you prefer a managed approach.

    MainNet Allocation

    We currently have a waitlist for deploying to MainNet, please wait for an allocation.

    We recently implemented a weekly validator allocation process to manage access. The current policy prioritizes "GTM-ready" projects—those with functional builds on DevNet or TestNet ready for immediate MainNet activation.

    • Current capacity: 50 validators per week

    • Allocations processed: every Wednesday

    For more details on the specific requirements and how the queue is managed, please refer to:

    • You can verify entries here.

    • Request an allocation here.

    Important: You will not be able to proceed to MainNet without an official allocation.

    High-Level Steps

    DevNet

    • Spin up your node on DevNet

    • Share the fixed IP you'd like whitelisted on DevNet for your Validator node with your SV sponsor

    • Spin up your node for DevNet

    • Request a DevNet onboarding secret - via API call (curl)

    Tip: Ensure your node is fully functional on DevNet before progressing.

    TestNet

    • Spin up your node on TestNet

    • Share your fixed IP you'd like whitelisted on TestNet for your Validator node with your SV sponsor

    Tip: TestNet readiness is a key signal for MainNet prioritization.

    MainNet

    • Spin up your node on MainNet

    • Reach out directly to your SV sponsor to request a MainNet onboarding secret after you have an allocation

    Important: Your MainNet onboarding secret will only be issued after allocation is granted, and must be requested directly from your SV sponsor before your node can join MainNet.
