Become a Validator

Devnet-0 validator docs are in progress. Start prepping your node now—final instructions will land before release. Testnet tokens have no monetary value.

Hardware & OS (suggested)

CPU: 4–8 cores modern x86_64
RAM: 16–32 GB
Storage: 200+ GB SSD/NVMe
Network: stable 100 Mbps+; open inbound p2p port
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or comparable), systemd
Time sync: chrony or systemd-timesyncd

These are initial targets for Devnet-0; we’ll refine as we collect real usage.

Quickstart (Docker)

Boot a non-validator node first, verify sync, then enable validator keys. Replace YOUR_NODE_NAME.

# Pull the latest Devnet-0 image (placeholder)
docker pull ghcr.io/quantara/devnet-0:latest

# Run a full node (adjust ports as needed)
docker run -it --rm \
  --name quantara-node \
  -p 30333:30333 \            # p2p
  -p 9944:9944 \              # ws (public)
  -e RUST_LOG=info \
  ghcr.io/quantara/devnet-0:latest \
  --chain devnet-0 \
  --name YOUR_NODE_NAME \
  --ws-external \
  --rpc-cors=all \
  --rpc-methods=Safe \
  --state-pruning=archive-canonical \
  --unsafe-ws-external=off

# After syncing, you'll generate session keys and submit on-chain (docs soon)

Security tip: expose only what you must; prefer a reverse proxy or a private RPC if you don’t need public access.
