Setting Up a Validator

To set up your own validator to support the Stride chain, use the tutorial below to guide you. For information on our inclusive validator sets, see the blog post linked below.

We have a wealth of resources available to any user who wants to set up a validator and connect to Stride. Explore the overview and links attached below for a procedural overview of running a node.

If you have questions, you can reach us via email, on Twitter, or at our Discord.
For troubleshooting, we recommend opening a #support-ticket with a Senior Lifeguard on our Discord.
