NuLink Worker Installer
Overview
The NuLink Worker is the node to provide cryptographic service in the NuLink network. It provides Proxy Re-encryption service in the Horus network and it will provide more services such as ABE, IBE, ZKP and FHE in NuLink mainnet. Only grid maintainers are required to run the NuLink Worker node. By continuously operating the worker node, grid maintainers remain eligible for rewards within the network.
There are four steps to run a NuLink Worker:
Create Worker Account
Bond the Worker Account with your grid
Install NuLink Worker
Configure and Run a Worker node
Warning: Do not use same address for staker account and worker account. Make sure to generate a new one for worker account.
Minimum System Requirements
Debian/Ubuntu (Recommended)
30GB available storage
4GB RAM
x86 architecture
Static IP address
Exposed TCP port 9151, make sure it's not occupied
Nodes can be run on cloud infrastructure.
Create Worker Account
Prepare an ETH type account for the Worker. We suggest creating a Worker account different from the staking account.
If you already know how to create one and access the keystore file, you can skip this step. Otherwise we recommend you to use Geth to create the Worker account. Please check here for details.
Bond the Worker Account with your grid
Bond the worker account to your grid to get reward after successfully running a NuLink Worker node using the NuLink Staking Dashboard.
Navigate to NuLink Staking Dashboard and go to My Stake Grid Page
Select the grid you wish to bond and Click “Bond Worker” button
Enter the Worker address and Click “BOND” button
Sign the bond transaction in metamask
Install NuLink Worker
Start to download and install NuLink Worker. Install it using Docker (recommended) or install it with local installation. See here for more details.
Initialize and Run a Worker Node
Initialize the configuration and start the Worker Node. If install via docker, need to initialize the configuration and run it in Docker. Otherwise please check here for more details regarding local running.
After successfully running a worker node, you can check the Grid Status in the NuLink Staking Dashboard to confirm that it’s online or not.
