# Xardian Node - Getting Started

Step 1: Delegate your license using the link found on the dashboard or visit  [https://xprotocol.org/assign-wallet/NODE\_ADDRESS](https://xprotocol.org/assign-wallet/%7Bgenerated) and put in your node address found on the dashboard

Step 2: Fund your node's operator address with .005 ETH on Base network

Step 3: Fund your wallet address with .005 ETH on Base network

Step 4: Submit your wallet address to the Node Orbit dashboard

If you start a node, and later add a license, make sure you re-submit your wallet address so that it picks up the additional license.

Please note that if you skip the first step, it will look like your node is running and submitting assertions but you won't receive rewards.  Make sure to delegate your license.
