One-Click Node Setup
This guide provides instructions for setting up a Shardeum Validator using the One-Click Node Setup method, designed for users with little to no experience running servers.
Detailed Setup Process
As the name suggests, one-click node setup require far fewer steps and technical know-how to setup a node when compared to self-hosting or renting a VPS. You simply need to choose a suitable service provider available in the market, pay a service fee and let them handle all the technical aspects for you to run the node seamlessly while you earn rewards. Follow the steps below to get started:
1. Choose a Service Provider
We’ve partnered with Zeeve - one of the industry’s leading blockchain infrastructure providers - to offer one-click node setup. More provider integrations are coming soon. Visit Shardeum's dedicated page on Zeeve. The process is similar for all providers, but the exact steps may vary slightly. Here is a general overview of the process:
2. Account Creation
- Sign up and create an account with the provider
3. Payment and Activation
- Complete the payment process
- Look for a list of available options to "Deploy Node"
- Select Shardeum from the list of available networks
- Choose your node configuration, ensure it meets the minimum requirements. In many cases, the provider would have set this up in the backend and you just have to provide some basic details like setting up your validator dashboard password, choosing a suitable region etc.
4. Start Validating
- Your node provisioning by the provider typically takes up to 30 minutes, and once it is provisioned, access the Shardeum validator dashboard through the provider's interface
- Stake the required SHM tokens
- Ensure your node is in
