We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed.

Server specifications:

Minimum Requirements:

• CPU: 1 cores
• RAM: 2 GB
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 / Ubuntu 24.04

Super low requirements — you can totally run it on whatever server you’ve got. Barely uses any resources, it’s just about signing a deploy. Don’t skip this activity, as the effort required is minimal.

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

1. Install the Solana CLI:

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"

2. Enter the following command:

export PATH="/root/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"

3. Generate a keypair on the Solana network:

solana-keygen new -o /root/.config/solana/id.json

You’ll be asked for a BIP39 passphrase — you can just skip it. Make sure to save that seed phrase!

You can view your private key using the following command:

cat /root/.config/solana/id.json

4. Request test tokens

solana airdrop 0.01 -u "https://testnet.atlas.xyz"

If you receive an error like this, go claim from the faucet:

https://faucet.atlas.xyz/

If you forgot to save your Solana public key, you can retrieve it with this command:

solana address

Requesting airdrop of 0.01 SOL
Error: airdrop request failed. This can happen when the rate limit is reached.

5. Sign the deploy

# 1. Clone the SPL Token Program from Solana mainnet
solana program dump -um TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA program.so

# 2. Generate a new program ID for Atlas
solana-keygen new -f -o program-keypair.json -s --no-bip39-passphrase

# 3. Deploy the cloned program to Atlas testnet at the generated address
solana program deploy -u "https://testnet.atlas.xyz" program.so --program-id program-keypair.json

Go to https://developer.metamask.io/welcome or another RPC like Alchemy. Get ETH in Sepolia.

So register on Alchemy or Infura and get from there RPC Sepolia.

ETH Sepolia Faucets:

• https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia
• https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/ethereum/sepolia
• https://sepolia-faucet.pk910.de/

1. Run the following command and download:

2. Install the node with command 2.

Select “Manually set Infura RPC.” Insert the URL (e.g., https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/api).

Enter your wallet’s private key and press “Enter” (without the 0x prefix).

The node is successfully installed!

3. Start Waku Node with command 3.

4. Check the logs with command 6

5. Check Node Health with command 9

Now the initialization is in progress, then it should be like this:

P.S. Also, you can install Grafana here and monitor the node’s status from there.

We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed.

Server specifications:

Recommended Requirements:

• CPU: 4 Cores
• RAM: 8GB
• Storage: 120GB SSDOS: Ubuntu 24.04

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

1. Run the following command and download:

sudo bash -c 'git clone https://github.com/dknodes/GaiaNet.git && cd GaiaNet && chmod ugo+x GaiaNet.sh && ./GaiaNet.sh'

• If Docker is not installed, execute command 1.
• If Docker is already installed, go straight to step 2.

Enter command 2 and install.

Here you’ll get a choice — stick with the default config or set your own. By default, it uses qwen2-0.5b-instruct, but if you want another model, hit “n”, and you’ll need to enter its config URL.

If you get the “command not found” error and the script exits, do this:

1. Exit the script using command 11.

2. Run the following command:

source $HOME/.bashrc

3. Restart the script:

sudo bash -c 'cd GaiaNet && ./GaiaNet.sh'

4. Try running command 2 again.

Save your Node ID and Device ID. If you forgot, use commands 4 and 5.

Then, launch the node with command 3.

Follow the red-highlighted link to the website.

You can test your model and ask AI a question (just hit the blue “Chat with this node” button).

Now, let’s register your node! Go to https://www.gaianet.ai/setting/nodes and connect your wallet by clicking the black “CONNECT NEW NODE” button. Enter your details to add the node.

To farm points, we need to interact with the node and send requests.

To automate this process, we made a script that does it for you.

You will need your NODE_ID for this.

Run command 6, and the bot will start talking to your node automatically.

If you want to change the AI questions, you can edit the questions.txt file inside the GaiaNet folder and restart the bot with command 6.

Next, review the bot logs using command 7. Successful requests should appear as shown in the screenshot below:

We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed.

Server specifications:

Recommended Requirements:

• A relatively modern CPU is recommended.
• RAM: 32GB
• Storage:
• Testnet Nodes: 30 GB
• Mainnet Nodes: 300 GB, with the state growing about 1TB per month.
• Network: 100 Mbps connection (1 Gbps+ recommended)

When deploying a node, it’s essential to understand which ports are already in use to avoid conflicts.

The Abstract node uses the following ports:

You can access the APIs using the following:

• For HTTP JSON-RPC API: 3060

• For WebSocket API: 3061

Before installing the node, make sure these ports are not in use.

What are ports and what role do they play in nodes? - Read more

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

1. Run the following command and download:

sudo bash -c 'git clone https://github.com/dknodes/Abstract.git && cd Abstract && chmod ugo+x AbstractDK.sh && ./AbstractDK.sh'

• If Docker is not installed, execute command 1.
• If Docker is already installed, go straight to step 2.

Choose either Testnet or Mainnet — you won’t be able to run both nodes at the same time, so pick one. For this example, we’re selecting Testnet.

Important: Before installing the node, check your server specs. This node is highly demanding, and after installation, and Testnet node can get pretty heavy after installation.

For example, on an Aeza server with:

• 16 CPU

• 32 GB RAM

• 480 GB NVMe

The load looks something like this.

Enter command 4.

Not gonna show all the logs, but the main one to check is number 1.

Next, Grafana is installed here, and there are three ways to access it:

Here’s a link with instructions: https://t.me/dknodes/63

ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 <user>@<remote_server>

• 3000 on the left side (-L 3000:localhost:3000) is the local port on your machine.

• 3000 on the right side refers to the remote server’s port that you want to forward.

• <user> is your username on the remote server.

• <remote_server> is the IP address or domain of the remote server.

To do this, replace 127.0.0.1:3000 with 0.0.0.0:3000 in the file:

• Abstract/external-node/mainnet-external-node.yml (for mainnet)

• Abstract/external-node/testnet-external-node.yml (for testnet)

Next, go to http://localhost:3000/d/0/external-node.

If you chose option 3, replace “localhost” with your server’s IP address.

2. Start the node installation.

Enter command 2.

Enter the HASH you received during registration.

Next, run command 3 to find out the container ID and copy it to check the log!

3. Check the logs

Successful logs should look like the ones in our screenshot.

The site should also say “online”!

If it all checks out, then you have successfully set up the node!

To complete the registration on OpenLedger Testnet, you need to install an X-server on your local machine.

Details:

For Windows:

• Use the MobaXterm program to work with the X-server.

For macOS:

• Install XQuartz using Homebrew:brew install --cask xquartz
• After installation, launch XQuartz:open -a XQuartz

For Linux:

• The X-server is usually pre-installed in the system.

We’ll be showing it on macOS.

Open your Terminal and use the following command to connect to the server with X11 forwarding enabled:

ssh -X root@ip

1. Run the following command and download:

sudo bash -c 'git clone https://github.com/dknodes/OpenLedger.git && cd OpenLedger && chmod ugo+x OpenLedger.sh && ./OpenLedger.sh'

2. Start the node installation.

Enter command 1

3. Enter command 3

4. Log into your account and link it up.

Click on Setup Node, then Continue, and Connect.

• Wait for the Connect button to turn green.

• Close the node window.

Congratulations, the node is installed!
