Beam Validator - Getting Started

After you purchase your node, go to the Node Orbit dashboard and you should see your node running. Note that the node will be running, but you will need to delegate to it to earn rewards.

Node Status

Syncing - Your node has not yet been delegated to.

Validating - You have successfully delegated your node and it's validating the network.

Is Bootstrapped

Once the node is fully synced, this will change from False to True. You can then proceed with delegating to your node.

Delegation

To delegate, go to the validator page and fill in the Node ID, BLS Public Key and BLS Proof of Possession. You can set the commission percentage and minimum stake duration to whatever you want. You will need to stake at least 20,000 BEAM.

Click “Finish Registration” and approve the pending transaction. Once it is completed, most often within a few minutes, the Validator Manager contract will respond by adding your new validator node to the validator set and it will be visible as active in the validator list here.
