Adding a Validator Node on GAN CHAIN
Becoming a validator on GAN CHAIN is a straightforward process all you need is an NFT from the node sale and an SS58 address (which you should’ve already created). This guide walks you through registering your validator node on the GPU.net dashboard.
What You Need to Become a Validator Before getting started, ensure you have both of the following:
An H160 (EVM-compatible) wallet that holds the NFT from the Node Sale.
This wallet (e.g., MetaMask) must hold the Validator Node NFT purchased during the Node Sale.
It’s used to authenticate your ownership and sign registration transactions on the dashboard.
An SS58 address (created using the Polkadot{.js} extension in the previous step)
This is a Substrate-based address, generated using the Polkadot{.js} extension.
It is where your validator node will be linked for on-chain activity.
Step-by-Step: Registering Your Validator Node
Step 1: Log In to the GAN CHAIN Dashboard
Connect your H160 wallet (the one holding your Validator NFT).
Make sure the wallet is on the correct network and your NFT is visible.
Step 2: Add Your SS58 Address
Navigate to the Validator tab on the dashboard.
Paste your SS58 address into the provided field.
Click Submit.
Step 3: Sign the Transaction
Your connected H160 wallet will prompt you to sign the registration transaction.
Confirm and authorize the action to complete the registration.
