Join the Dor metagraph
Once the Lattice team receives your node ID, they will update the necessary permissions to authorize your node to join the Dor Metagraph cluster.
This step is essential to grant your node access and allow it to begin participating in the network. Make sure your node ID is submitted accurately to avoid delays in onboarding.
Wallet Export Considerations
Important Security Note:
Your validator node will operate using a hot wallet.
This means that if your P12 keystore is accessed or compromised, it could have serious operational and financial consequences.
Recommended Best Practice:
Transfer your tokens
Transfer your $DOR from your existing wallet carefully to your newly created Dor validator node wallet. Follow standard transfer protocols to ensure safe delivery and avoid any risk of lost funds.
CAREFUL !
Be sure to double-check all details during the transfer to avoid any issues, such as lost of funds.
Advanced Option
In most cases, you will not be able to directly export your existing wallet for use on your Dor validator node.
If you are an advanced user with experience in wallet management and security, you may choose to:
Export the private key from your existing wallet
Import it into the P12 keystore configured on your node
This process requires a solid understanding of key management and security best practices. Improper handling can compromise your wallet and jeopardize the integrity of your node.
