Setting-up a Server-based Worker Node Account
Server-based worker node accounts can be created manually or generated from Launchpad. In any case, below are the steps to guide you on how to setup your account.
Types of EWX Accounts
Operator Account - an EWX account which serves as the main account of the operator to be used in EWT management (lifting/lowering), subscriptions, rewards, etc
Worker Node Account - an EWX account with the sole purpose of casting votes on behalf of the operator
Prerequisites
Marketplace Desktop App - download the latest version from https://www.energywebx.com/
Public Address of the Worker Node Account - the worker node account must already be created from Launchpad or from any wallet which supports EWX
Operator Account with enough EWT balance - create an account from any wallet which supports EWX and make sure to lift enough EWT for signing-up as operator, linking worker account to operator, opting-in to solution groups, etc
Step by step guide to setup your worker node
Sign-up as operator
To sign-up as an operator, you must prepare your "operator" EWX account. This account is just a normal account created on EWX network via any supported Polkadot wallet. For now, we suggest to use Sub Wallet or Nova Wallet. Make sure to always keep your seedphrase copied and secured elsewhere. In addition, please ensure that your operator account has sufficient EWT balance to proceed with any on-chain transaction.
Please follow below steps to sign-up as an operator.
Connect your operator account
Approve the connection request in your wallet
Once connected, you will be redirected to the Discover page and you will see your "operator" public address in the upper right corner of the screen as highlighted below
Browse through any solution group and click on it. You will be redirected to its details page. Then, click on the "Opt-in" button
The sign-up operator dialog gets displayed. Input your details accordingly and approve the transaction in your wallet.
Subscribe to solution group
After the signing-up as an operator, you will be prompted to stake tokens to your selected solution group from the Discover page. Stake your desired amount and approve the transaction in your wallet.
Set worker node account
After subscribing to the solution group, you will be prompted whether to participate in a worker node network.
Link worker to operator
