⏱️Managed Nodes Setup

This section goes over how users opting to earn with Staking v2 can set up a managed node to start earning rewards as a Node Contributor. 1) Head over to https://app.shadownode.org/buy-node and connect your wallet.

2) With your wallet connected, you can check if your holdings are sufficient for you to qualify for Staking v2. If your holding amount exceeds 0.25% of the total supply then you can proceed ahead.

3) During this step, you will have to choose if you want to set up a managed or unmanaged node. In our case, we are opting for a managed node since we do not want to bother with any technical configuration process.

4) At this point you will have to pay to have the Node rented out for a year. This will incur a flat rate of 0.3 ETH. If you click on "Pay Now" you will be asked to deposit your funds into a unique ETH address against which your payment will be verified. Once you have manually deposited the correct Ethereum amount into the provided wallet address you can continue to verify.

5) The following message will greet you once your payment has been verified. You can now continue to the dashboard but it will remain inactive until the Node setup process is complete. The process is expected to take 3-6 hours.

6) The following dashboard is what users can expect to be greeted by once their node is successfully up and running. Users will be able to view their earnings so far at the top right corner.
