Now that we have managed to start the Theta Guardian Node in a container, we are nearly ready to begin staking to it.
Once the Guardian Node first starts, it will begin to sync. The sync process takes a bit of time but I have provided a script to make checking/staking a little easier.
The script get_stake_address.sh will query the Guardian Node and first check if the syncing has completed. If so, you will be presented with the Guardian Node Holder (Summary) and also a representation of that in QR code form, if you find it easier to scan it.
Follow along below with the installation method you chose prior:
docker exec theta_guardian_node ./get_stake_address.shBelow is example output from a Guardian Node I was testing:
kubectl exec --namespace theta pod/$(kubectl get pod --namespace theta -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}") -- ./get_stake_address.shBelow is example output from the Guardian Node in the cluster I was testing:
That's it for the Guardian Nodes!
Here's the official Theta staking instructions to actually stake your tokens to your new Guardian Node:
Note: you just need to follow the "Web Wallet" or "Mobile Wallet" links in the url above.
Enjoy!
