Step 4: Verify your deployment​

  1. Wait for a couple of minutes for the Deployment status to change from Pending to Running.
  1. Check your logs.

Once the status is Running, the Logs will automatically display the steps, to validate if your Node is working fine, you should see logs something like this

Step 5: Verify deployment at Avail Telemetry​

Check telemetry.avail.tools/ and search for your namespace showcasing the sync status of the Node. The synchronization approximately takes 18-24h_

Step 6: Register and create stash & a controller account​

tip

Learn more about this from the Avail docs.

To register your Node as an active validator, bond your tokens to the respective Node:

  1. Navigate to the Goldberg network explorer at goldberg.avail.tools

  2. Create a stash and a controller account. The stash account should ideally be a cold wallet, while the controller can be a hot wallet.

  • The controller key is responsible for managing staking activities and executing transactions, including the payment of transaction fees.
  • The stash key primarily safeguards your funds and should ideally be stored in a cold wallet or kept offline. It is not recommended to use the stash key for routine account activities like submitting extrinsics.
  1. Create a Controller Account.
