Hi everyone, I’m sharing a guide on how to install the Lumoz Node for those who purchased the Lumoz Node License during the node sale. Please note, no new users can participate in this campaign.

If you haven’t interacted with Lumoz or didn’t purchase a node license, you can still participate in various ongoing Lumoz campaigns that offer points for free, and as you know, points often lead to airdrops.

Let’s get started:

Claim Your Node License

Step 1: Claim Your Node License

If you bought a node license, go to the Lumoz Node claiming page and connect the wallet you used for the purchase. You’ll see a page prompting you to claim your testnet node license.

Step 2: Create a New Wallet

Create a new wallet using MetaMask or Rabby Wallet, copy the wallet address, and use it to claim your node license. Remember to save your wallet’s private key—it will be required to set up the node.

Important Warning: Never share your main wallet’s private key online as it always carries a risk of compromising your wallet. This is why we’re using a new wallet.

Step 3: Set Up Your VPS

After claiming the license, proceed to your VPS. Here are the hardware requirements:

  • CPU: 2 CPU Cores (x86/X64 Processor)
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Storage: 60 GB Disk Space
  • Bandwidth: Stable Internet Connection

If you are running the Nillion Verifier Node, you can install this node on the same VPS. Alternatively, I recommend using this VPS: https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-101185276-13796470

Step 4: Delegation Option

If you prefer not to run your own node, you can delegate your license to an active node operator. To do this, go to the Delegate Page, search for my node name “RTad” (if you wish to delegate to me), and proceed with the delegation.

This guide covers the installation for a single node. If you need to install multiple nodes, you can follow the official guide for node installations using Docker.

Before starting the installation, claim the MOZ token faucet from the discord on your mainn wallet and transfer a few tokens to the node wallet.

    • Upload your logo to Imgur.
    • After uploading, right-click the image and select “Copy Image Address” to get the URL.
