Validators
After installing a Read-Only Node, you can upgrade to a VinuChain validator by registering your validator node on-chain. To do this, you need to have at least 200,000 VC to create a validator wallet. The wallet is the validator’s identity in the network which it uses to authenticate, sign messages, etc.
A validator is a network participant responsible for confirming and validating transactions, producing new blocks, and securing the network's consensus protocol. Validators play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and security of the VinuChain blockchain.
Validators receive block rewards for their contribution to the network.
If you have not installed your Read-Only Node yet, please begin at the previous page!
Create a validator wallet
The node is now running and syncing the network in your current console, so you need to open up a new console window, connect via SSH to the server and enter the following commands to create a validator wallet:
# Create validator wallet
(validator)$ ./opera account new
After entering the command, you will get prompted to enter a password for the account (= wallet) — use a strong one! You can e.g. use a password manager to generate a 20+ digit password to secure your wallet. It will look something like this:
NEVER share your private key or keystore with anyone!
Fund your validator wallet
The next step is to fund your validator wallet with enough VC to become a validator. That means you need to have at least 200,000 VC in the wallet you just created (send a little more to cover transaction fees). After successfully sending the VC to your newly created Opera wallet, you can register your validator via the SFC Smart Contract.
Make sure you wait for your node to be fully synced, otherwise your VC will not show up in your wallet!
Create a new validator key
We have to create validator private key to sign consensus messages with. It can be done only using go-opera
(validator)$ ./opera validator new
Follow the prompts and supply the password, the output is as follows:
Your new key was generated
Public key: 0xPubkey
Path of the secret key file:
- You can share your public key with anyone. Others need it to validate
messages from you.
- You must NEVER share the secret key with anyone! The key controls
access to your validator!
- You must BACKUP your key file! Without the key, it's impossible to
operate the validator!
- You must REMEMBER your password! Without the password, it's
impossible to decrypt the key!
Create your validator via the SFC
You should wait for your node to sync to the latest block of the network before proceeding.
Attach to Opera console
To proceed, open up the console where you entered the commands to create the validator wallet previously and attach to the Opera node console:
# Attach to opera console
(validator)$ ./opera attach
By doing so, you will get a JavaScript console where you can directly interact with the Opera node and e.g. send transactions (which you will do in a moment):

After initializing both variables, you can now interact with the network’s SFC.
Sanity check
Enter the following command to check that everything works as expected:
// Sanity check
sfcc.lastValidatorID()
// if everything is all right, will return a non-zero value
If it looks like this, everything is OK (you should not get an error here):
Get your validator ID
Next, try to get your ValidatorID from the SFC using your previously generated validator wallet address:
# Get your validator id
sfcc.getValidatorID("VALIDATOR_WALLET_ADDRESS")
Use quotes for "VALIDATOR_WALLET_ADDRESS".
This should return 0, as you are not registered as a validator yet:
Unlock validator wallet
Next, unlock your validator wallet to be able to execute the registration transaction (make sure to use the password you set before).
Note that, you can perform this step (unlockAccount + createValidator) in a separate machine (different from the machine you'll run your validator node), or it'd be even more secure if you use hardware wallet to do it.
Use quotes for "VALIDATOR_WALLET_ADRESS" and "PASSWORD".
This will return “true” if unlocking the wallet was successful:
Register your validator
Next, send the createValidator transaction to register your validator (the value is the representation of the smallest VC unit, so it must be divided by 1e18.
Alternatively, you can use web3.toWei("200000.0", "vc")).
