Run a Validator
Validators are the backbone of the Nara network. By running a validator node, you help secure the chain, process transactions, and earn rewards.
Getting Started
The official validator software and full setup instructions are maintained in the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/nara-chain/nara-validator
Please refer to the repository README for:
- System requirements — hardware and OS recommendations
- Installation — building from source or using pre-built binaries
- Configuration — setting up your validator identity and vote account
- Running — launching the validator and joining the cluster
- Monitoring — checking validator health and performance
- Upgrades — keeping your node up to date
Network Endpoints
Make sure your validator is configured to connect to the correct network:
| Network | RPC Endpoint |
|---|---|
| Mainnet | https://mainnet-api.nara.build/ |
| Devnet | https://devnet-api.nara.build/ |
See Network Info for more details.
