Technical Notice

The below procedures and steps will be fully covered in the technical procedures section of the documentation website.

At this stage, you are only expected to read and understand theses steps, do not attempt to perform them yet.

Familiarizing yourself with the process in advance will help ensure a smoother experience when it is time to begin the technical setup.

Once your application is approved, you can begin the technical steps to build and activate your Dor validator node.

1

Reception

You will receive a confirmation of acceptance and be ready to proceed with the next steps in the onboarding process.

This email will be sent to your verified Lattice email address.

2

Build your node

Once accepted, you’ll be ready to dive into the technical aspects of building your data layer 1 validator node for the Dor metagraph.

This phase involves setting up a , transforming your VPS into a node, and preparing to meet the operational requirements of the network.

Detailed instructions will be provided to guide you through each step of the build process.

The node id is used for purposes.

4

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:

1

Create a new wallet

The nodectl utility used to transform your VPS into a Dor validator node will automatically create this for you during installation.

2

Import private key into Stargazer

Use the nodectl utility to export your private key from our Dor validator node and import it into our Stargazer wallet.

3

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.

Not Recommended for most users.

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.
