Becoming an Independent Validator means running your own node that signs verification records on the Coiin Network, helping to decentralize and secure the network in exchange for Coiin rewards.
To register your own Independent Node:
- Download and install the Coiin Network Validator Installer app on your macOS or Windows computer.
- Follow the setup instructions in the terminal window to generate your Independent Node public key.
- Log in to Coiin.ai and go to the Validator Nodes page.
- Click Register an Independent Validator, paste your public key into the Public Key field, and click Register.
Once registered, your node will automatically sign new blocks as they become available. Make sure your computer stays online to maximize your validator uptime and rewards.
