TESTNET — this app runs on the Sepolia test network. Testnet NIL and Sepolia ETH have no value, and nodes, stake and rewards here do not carry over to mainnet.

Connect the wallet that will own the node and make sure it holds Sepolia ETH and testnet NIL. Grab NIL from the faucet; Sepolia ETH comes from any public Sepolia faucet.

Step 1 of 7

Connect your owner wallet. It provides the NIL stake (bonded on-chain when you register) and receives all earnings — the node never holds this key.

It needs roughly 0.06 Sepolia ETH (~0.05 to fund the node's gas, the rest for registration) and at least 10 NIL (the minimum stake). Get NIL from the testnet faucet; Sepolia ETH comes from any public Sepolia faucet.
