LAMINA1

To launch a validator node for the Lamina1 project, follow these steps:

1. Prepare your system

• Hardware requirements:

  • CPU: 4 vCPUs (similar to AWS virtual CPUs)

  • RAM: 8 GB

  • Storage: 100 GB

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04

• Ensure that port 9671 is open and properly forwarded if you're using a home network.

2. Install the Lamina1 node

First, add the Lamina1 repository and install the Betanet node:

echo "deb [trusted=yes arch=amd64] https://snapshotter.lamina1.global/ubuntu jammy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lamina1.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lamina1-betanet

3. Start the node

Once installed, the node will be registered as a system service. Start and check its status using:

sudo systemctl status lamina1-node.betanet

You should see that the node is active and running.

4. Check node information

To retrieve important details for staking and monitoring your node, use:

lamina1.get_my_nodeid.sh  # Get your node ID
lamina1.get_my_nodepk.sh  # Show your node's public key (NodePK)

5. Staking your tokens

Go to the Betanet Staking Wallet, create a new wallet, and stake your tokens by associating them with your node ID.

6. Monitor and maintain your node

• To view logs:

  sudo journalctl -u lamina1-node.betanet -f -o cat

• To restart the node:

  sudo systemctl restart lamina1-node.betanet
