Step 7: Install Screen

apt install screen

Step 8: Create Screen

screen -S JUNEO

Step 9: Start the Juneo node:

cd ~ && ./juneogo --network-id="socotra"

• Once the node is running, you can view the log to ensure it is functioning correctly. To detach from the screen session without stopping the node, press CTRL + A + D

You may check if the node has boostrapped with the following call:

curl -X POST --data '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id"     :1,
    "method" :"info.isBootstrapped",
    "params": {
        "chain":"JUNE"
    }
}' -H 'content-type:application/json;' 127.0.0.1:9650/ext/info

• Response | TRUE is fully Sync - False is still syncing.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "isBootstrapped": true
  },
  "id": 1
}

• After the bootstrapping process has completed, you may proceed to the next step 10.

Step 10: Join as a Validator and Participate in the Rewards Program

With your node running, gather its information to sync with your wallet and start validating the network.

Open the Required Ports:

sudo ufw allow 9650
sudo ufw allow 9651

Retrieve Node Information: Run the following command to get your nodeID:

curl -X POST --data '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id"     :1,
    "method" :"info.getNodeID"
}' -H 'content-type:application/json' 127.0.0.1:9650/ext/info

• After running the command, make sure to save your NodeID, BLS Key (publicKey), and BLS Signature (proofOfPossession) for the next steps.

Step 7: Create a Wallet and Stake Your Node

Next, go to https://mcnwallet.io/ to create a wallet and securely store your private key.

• Join the Discord Channel at:https://discord.gg/juneosupernet
• Open a ticket in the Faucet channel at:https://discord.com/channels/1109824729453432953/1207338712388862013

In the ticket, send your email address (the one you used in the form), your wallet address, and NodeID.

Stake Your Node:

• In the mcnwallet.io, navigate to the Stake page and click on the Validate card.
• Enter your NodeID, BLS Key (publicKey), and BLS Signature (proofOfPossession).
• Set the staking amount to 1 JUNE and the validation period to 14 days
• Ensure all information is correctly entered to enable your node for validation.
• Then, Click “Validate” to add your node to the Validator set.

Note: In order to stake, you must have funds on Platform-Chain. Use the Cross-Chain page to transfer the desired amount from JUNE-Chain to Platform-Chain.

Check Node Status:

• After the transaction is complete, go to https://mcnscan.io/validator/validator-list.
• Enter your NodeID in the search bar to check the status of your node.

Congratulations! Your node should now be part of the validator set and actively participating in the network validation process.
