Note: You do not need 10,000,000 XDC to run a node for RPC or just querying live data from the chain. |
As an XDC masternode candidate, you are going to need the following:
- XDCPay or XinFin web wallet or a hardware wallet (Trezor )
- 10,000,000 XDC (mainnet) or test XDC (Apothem testnet)
- Your coinbase address (you can log in to your node and retrieve it from there)
Follow these steps to stake your node.
