This command-line tool works by sending 6 transactions to the Nimiq PoW blockchain in a specific format. For further information check the documentation.
Make sure you have Node.js >= v16.20.2 and Yarn Classic 1.x installed.
Then navigate to this repo and install the dependencies by running:
yarn
node validator-registration.js [options]
Options:
--help Display this help page
--validator Path to the validator specification file (JSONC)
--network "test" or "main" - The network that should be used to register a validator.
If this argument is not provided, the tool connects to the "test" network by default
When run without any options, a new validator-keys.json file with random keys is securely generated.
Documentation is available in the Nimiq developer center.
