Connect the wallet that will own the node and make sure it holds Sepolia ETH and testnet NIL. Grab NIL from the faucet; Sepolia ETH comes from any public Sepolia faucet.
Step 1 of 6
Connect your owner wallet. It provides the NIL stake (bonded on-chain when you register) and receives all earnings — the node never holds this key.
It needs roughly 0.06 Sepolia ETH (~0.05 to fund the node's gas, the rest for registration) and at least 10 NIL (the minimum stake). Get NIL from the testnet faucet; Sepolia ETH comes from any public Sepolia faucet.
