A Complete Guide - Run Glacier Node - a Building The Data-Centric Blockchain Modular for Infrastructure
What is Glacier? Glacier Network is building a programmable, modular and scalable blockchain infrastructure for agents, models and datasets, supercharging AI & DePin. Scale at empowers verifiable computing through GlacierAI, GlacierDB, and GlacierDA.

FAQs: Participants will receive the $GLS token airdrop in proportion to their points and promised 1:1 $GLS rewards after TGE. For more specific details, please refer to the Glacier Points System Guidance and the future announcements. Season III: Each task comes with different rewards. Usually, the more demanding it is, the more rewarding it will be. To earn the whitelist spot and future $GLS tokens, you must deploy the nodes on Verifier Nodes Testnet and make sure you have consistent up time.

Not yet Docker install? try auto installing...
curl sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcxteam/glacier-node/main/install-docker.sh | bash
2. Need a Wallet and Private Key & Gas Fees
Which chain does Glacier testnet support? OpBNB Testnet
- Create or import wallet (save private-key)
- Need OpBNB minimum 0.3 OpBNB testnet
- Get BNB Testnet from Faucet, you need 0.002BNB Mainnet to claim faucet here or Googling
- Bridge BNB testnet to opBNB testnet here
- If you have any amount of OpBNB or BNB testnet....
3. Glacier Dashboard Testnet
1. Run the command with YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY of Wallet
docker run -d -e PRIVATE_KEY=$YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --name glacier-verifier docker.io/glaciernetwork/glacier-verifier:v0.0.3
+ EXAMPLE
- docker run -d -e PRIVATE_KEY= 0xbangsat69g4s...x) --name glacier-verifier docker.io/glaciernetwork/glacier-verifier:v0.0.3
2. Check the Command Logs
docker logs -f glacier-verifier
- Stay cool... your node processing a minting NFT Glacier underway. Please check back in a few minutes...an estimate around 10-20m for the set active nodes. Once complete, check the verify your node status.
1. Auto Update Command w/ This
Input your private-key wallet before run
VERSION=v0.0.3
docker pull glaciernetwork/glacier-verifier:$VERSION && \
( docker ps -aq --filter "name=glacier-verifier" | grep -q . && docker rm -f glacier-verifier ) || echo "No existing container to stop or remove" && \
docker images glaciernetwork/glacier-verifier:$VERSION -q | xargs -I {} docker run -d -e PRIVATE_KEY=XXXXXXXX --name glacier-verifier {}
- For the next version update you can edit or replace like
VERSION=v0.0.XXX
- For getting update you don't forget an input
PRIVATE_KEY=XXXXX
1. Visit Node Explorer
- The online status of the verifier nodes on testnet can be checked here: https://testnet.nodes.glacier.io/status
The node will print out the following message when it is ready
- NodeEnter, Waiting For Your Node(0x...) License... when running the node
- NodeEnter txHash (0x....)
- Node already active
- Query verify task
- Submit task rotate
