4️⃣ Clone the repository

git clone https://gitlab.com/q-dev/mainnet-public-tools

5️⃣ Creating keystore Folder and pwd.txt File

cd mainnet-public-tools/validator/

mkdir keystore

• Type the password you will use in your wallet here.

echo YOUR-PASSWORD > keystore/pwd.txt

• Now we have created the keystore folder and our pwd.txt file. Now it's time to create a wallet.

• " If you have a UTC file you have used before, put it into the keystore folder and do not do the wallet creation step. If you are going to create a new wallet, you need to do this step."

6️⃣ Creating a wallet

docker run --entrypoint="" --rm -v $PWD:/data -it qblockchain/q-client:1.2.3 geth account new --datadir=/data --password=/data/keystore/pwd.txt

• If you get the following output after using this command, everything is fine. Your wallet has been created.

• Write save your wallet address. Your Keystore folder should look like this.

cp .env.example .env

nano .env

8️⃣ Edit our docker-compose

"Important: this step is optional. Q team will give mainnet access key to validators which are in the rank 1 to 135"

nano docker-compose.yaml

• To see your node on the statistics page, add the following code to your docker-compose file as shown in the image and save it.

• Open a ticket on the Q Discord channel. Request the access key for the mainnet.

"--ethstats=<Your_Validator_Name>:<Mainnet_access_key>@stats.q.org",

9️⃣ Edit our config.json
