As a Node Operator

How to use Pi Pool as a Node Operator

Creating a Testnet or Mainnet Node

To participate in Pi Staking as a node operator and earn rewards on your staked PPY, you must have a PulseChain node. For instructions on creating a node, refer to the Official PulseChain guides. After obtaining the validator credentials (public key, signature, data deposit root, and withdrawal address), return to Pi Staking, then create a Node ID.


How to Make a Pi Pool

A Pi Pool, analogous to RocketPool's Minipool, is a validator funded by PLS contributed from liquid stakers via the deposit pool and PLS contributed by node operators during their registration with Pi Staking.

The following steps demonstrate how to create a Pi Pool on Testnet, in which, the steps will be the same on Mainnet.
