Gnosis Chain Incentive Program

Gnosis Chain is a Proof of Stake blockchain that uses the GNO token for staking. The Gnosis incentive program rewards validators for their work in the network. It is designed to incentivize validators to participate and secure the network.

So you got your Dappnode and want to know how to get your Gnosis Chain validators?

Here are the prerequisites:

• You must have purchased a Dappnode Home - Gnosis Chain Edition
• You must have given us an Ethereum address you control for us to whitelist during that purchase. If you didn’t, please send an email to support@nodlers.com with your order number and your address
• You have set up your dappnode so you can use it
• You can do step 1 immediately after receiving your dappnode, steps 2 and 3 after receiving a first email from dappnode, and finally 4 when

1. Set Up Your Gnosis Chain Node

Follow these instructions to setup your Gnosis Chain node on Dappnode.

2. Get safe address

To participate in the Gnosis incentive program, you need to have a safe address provided by the Dappnode team. You should have received an email with the safe address. This email may not be send just after the order is done, it can take a few days. If you don't have it, please send an email to support@nodlers.com.

The safe address will be controlled by both the Dappnode team and you. It will have a threshold of 2, meaning that both parties need to sign a transaction to execute it. The address will have an expiration time of 1 year.

tip

You can also use the Gnosis deposit UI (Dappnode section) to visualize the safe address (withdrawal address) that must be used to generate the keys in step 3. You must connect the wallet you specified while purchasing the Dappnode to the Gnosis deposit UI to see the safe address.

3. Generate and import your validator keys

caution

Before generating the keys, make sure you have received an email from Dappnode letting you know which one should be your withdrawal address that these keys need to have. If you don't have it, please contact the Dappnode team.

caution

It is mandatory that you specify 3 as the number of validators when generating the keys. If you have participated in the Dappcon program, you should select 4 instead.

To generate the validator keys, follow the step detailed here.

4. Submit deposit data

Once the validator keys are generated, you need to submit the deposit data to the Gnosis deposit UI (dappnode section).

1. Navigate to: https://deposit.gnosischain.com/

2. Connect the wallet that you gave when filling the order for your DAppNode.

3. Move to the "Dappnode" tab

4. Upload the deposit_data*.json you generated with the key generator tool in step 2

5. Click claim

   The execution of the deposit can take a few days. Once dappnode executes the deposit data for you, you should receive an email letting you know that the deposit has been submitted and your validators are ready.
