Adding Validator in the Explorer

PreviousRunning the Validator NodeNextQueen Staking Setup

Last updated 9 months ago

Generate key from rotate keys:

Run the following command in the same machine where you are running the validator node:

docker exec -it GPUNetValidator curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "author_rotateKeys", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9933

This will return a key in the 'result' field of the JSON. Save this for future use.

Add validator in the explorer:

Goto the staking section of our block explorer:

Here you can see an option to add validator (Validator with + symbol).

Click that option and a new pop-up will come like this :

Here you have to select your account (SS58 that you added) and the value which you want to bond, minimum currently is 100 GPoints i.e. the staking amount.

Click on next and you would be able to see the following window:

In the 'keys from rotatekeys' section paste the key that you created in the previous step. Click on 'Bond & Validate'.

Then enter your account password and select 'Sign & Submit'.

Note: After this process, you should be able to see your account in the pending validators. However, your validator will start making blocks and earning rewards from the next era (1 Era is 24 hours).
