Guide: Running a 0G Node on RapidNode

0G (ZeroGravity) is a scalable data availability layer and modular AI blockchain with a unique architecture that provides essential infrastructure and data storage solutions to expand the blockchain’s reach.

Their highly scalable, low-cost, and fully programmable data availability (DA) solution addresses the shortcomings of alternative solutions like Celestia and EigenDA, which recently launched on the mainnet.

0G Labs recently raised $35 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Hack VC, with contributions from Delphi Digital, Animoca Brands, OKX Ventures, and many others.

They recently launched their testnet “Newton” which focuses on testing the basic functionalities of their design.

As a testnet node operator, you can engage with the network by deploying and integrating storage nodes into the storage network and validator nodes into the consensus network.

Here’s how you can deploy a validator node on the testnet using a one-click method:

Step 1: Log In To Rapid Nodes & Add Credits

• Signup on our platform Here
• Add Credits To Purchase Nodes

Step 2: Buying 0G (ZeroGravity) Node

• Visit the dashboard page, select “0G,” and choose your preferred duration.
• Enter a Moniker Name. Moniker is nothing but a name given to your validator profile.
• You can now verify whether your node is deployed by visiting the “Active Nodes” section.
• It will take some time, but once deployed, proceed to the next steps

Step 3: Retrieving the Private Key & Addresses

• Once your node has been deployed, click on the “Private Key” button to private keys.
• Use “EVM Address” claim tokens from the Faucet.
• Use “Evmos Seed Phrase” to import it into Keplr or other Cosmos Chain Wallets.

Step 4: Claim 0G test Tokens From Faucet

• Visit: Faucet Page
• Enter your EVM Wallet Address and request tokens.
• Make sure you have atleast 1 0G Token. It may take you upto 10 days to claim.

Step 5: Mark “Claimed” When After Tokens Are Claimed

Once you have already claimed atleast 1 0G Token, mark the node as “claimed” so that we can start creating a validator.

Step 6: Monitor Your Node Deployment

Once your node is completely deployed, you can monitor your Node Deployment by going to UptimeKuma.
