Preparation of Private Key and Gas Fees
You need to create an EVM-compatible private key to operate the Verifier Node. Safeguard this private key carefully, as it is crucial for running the Verifier Node. If others delegate their Node Licenses to your Verifier Node, you will earn Delegation Fees (currently set at 1%). The address corresponding to this private key will also be used to withdraw these Delegation Fees.
Additionally, since the Verifier Node operates on the Base Chain and periodically performs on-chain verification tasks, it requires gas fees to process these transactions. Initially, you recommended to prepare 0.0005 ETH as gas fees for the Verifier Node's address, ensuring the funds are on the Base Chain.
Node License
Running a Verifier Node does not necessarily require owning a Node License, as the Verifier Node can accept Node Licenses delegated by others. However, we strongly encourage Node Runners to own a Node License and delegate it to their own Verifier Node for better control and benefits.
You can purchase a Node License at https://node.glacier.io/ and delegate it to your Verifier Node.
