This section of Findora docs will help you build a validator node. |
Welcome to the validator section of our documentation. This section will walk you through the process of installing and running a validator on Findora. If you have questions or need assistance, join the Findora community on Telegram or Discord and request for access to the Validator Support channels.
- First, review the System Requirements page to understand what type of hardware and software is required to run a validator node on Findora. You will need this information as you proceed further.
- Next, you must acquire a server. We suggest using a server hosting provider such as Contabo, Digital Ocean, or AWS. In the Aquire a Server section, we use Contabo as an example of how to rent a virtual server for your validator.
- Finally, you may choose one of two paths for setting up a validator:
Manual Setup - This method walks you through the process, step-by-step.
Toolbox Setup (Recommended) - This method uses a toolbox to do much of the heavy lifting for you. The toolbox provides you with a set of tools for managing and troubleshooting your validator.
{% hint style="info" %} You can install the toolbox separately after following the steps in Manual Setup. {% endhint %}
