, located in the drop-down (top-right menu options). Set the following property values:
Network Name:
Fleek Network Testnet
RPC URL:
https://rpc.testnet.fleek.network/rpc/v0

In the Faucet website, you have to click the Connect Wallet
Once Connect Wallet
is ready, proceed to Mint tFLK
and wait until the balance of the account in your Metamask increases. You need to have tFLK
before proceeding. Be patient.
Once tFLK
balance is available, click in the Stake
button. You'll be required to provided the following details from your node:
Node Public Key
Consensus Public Key
Server IP Address
You can get the details quickly by running the node details script in the terminal connected to your machine or server where the node is set up and running, as follows:
curl https://get.fleek.network/node_details | bash
Restart the service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
sudo systemctl enable lightning
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/lightning
sudo touch /var/log/lightning/output.log
sudo touch /var/log/lightning/diagnostic.log
sudo systemctl restart lightning.service
# Check logs
tail -fn100 /var/log/lightning/output.log
