Part2. Staking and Setting up nodes

When you log into the Node Manager2.0 successfully, you will be directed to the staking page.

1. Stake IPX on your node:

Submit your wallet address with enough IPX balance and few VSYS(for the verification) on the Calculator page.
Choose location, nodes number and days of staking. You can check the estimated rewards and ROI through the calculator on the right side. Click Confirm, you’ll stake successfully.

Only the staked nodes can receive IPX rewards.

2. Verify your wallet:

You will be required to transfer a small amount of VSYS(like 0.25 VSYS) to verify your wallet.

There will be a simple verification before staking. All staking participants need to transfer a random amount of VSYS coins to our official address so that we can confirm the credibility.

3. Set up your node:

1)Follow the prompt to start setting up your node. You can also click “Add” or “Start” to start configuring servers on the Node list page.

2)Choose the cloud service provider you want to configure.

3) Input authentication information of a cloud service provider according to the guideline.

The required info varies from different providers. Please check the guideline carefully on the page to find the exact information.
In v2.0, we support AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, Upcloud. More providers will be available soon.

4) Choose the servers you want to create and manage.

All the detailed information about the servers will be shown on the page. You can choose the one with the highest rewards.

4. System process and confirm

Once you choose the serve, the system needs to process the info and activate the node in Tachyon Network. It will show the “Processing” condition on the Task Log page. When the condition changes to “Success”, your node is active and can earn rewards now.

You can manage the server, including stopping the server, sharing your Tachyon key, checking the rewards history, re-configuring the server, taking the server offline, and deleting the server.
