Expert level walk through on how to build a node to run on Constellation Network's IntegrationNet.

Before We Begin:

IntegrationNet vs. MainNet Node Setup

When building your Validator node, it’s important to understand the key distinction between IntegrationNet and MainNet from a node operator perspective.

While both environments serve critical roles in the Constellation ecosystem, the primary difference during setup is related to collateral staking.

Note:

This statement is primarily to understand the distinctions between a Node Operator operating a node on IntegrationNet verses MainNet.

NOT DISTRINCTIONS BETWEEN THE PURPOSE OF THESE TWO HYPERGRAPH CLUSTERS


πŸ”„ IntegrationNet Overview

  • IntegrationNet is a non-production environment used for development.

  • It operates on a separate, non-economic Hypergraph cluster.

  • $DAG tokens used in IntegrationNet have no monetary value and cannot be transferred to MainNet.


πŸ’Ό Hot Wallet Behavior

  • The hot wallet on an IntegrationNet node does not hold real $DAG tokens.

  • As such, collateral staking is not required or validated directory from the node, in this environment.

  • This allows new Constellation specific metagraphs, Enterprise metagraphs, and Eco-system develped metagraphs test metagraph functionality and behaviors, before moving into production.


🧩 Required: Lattice Integration

To operate a node on IntegrationNet:

  1. Connect a DAG wallet address through the IntegrationNet Node Operator Program.

  2. This wallet is used for tracking your staking collateral.

  1. Build your IntegrationNet node, using the guide options presented below.
