Welcome to the homepage for Energy Web Chain validator technical documentation!
This space is organized into two primary groups:
- Installing a validator node: Start here if you are new to the EWC validator community and setting up a node for the first time.
- Maintaining a validator node: Here you will find step-by-step instructions for a variety of operational and maintenance tasks.
If you need further information or troubleshooting assistance, please use the dedicated Validator Knowledge Base.
{% hint style="info" %} Note: Validators can1 opt to outsource their node installation and operation to third-party service providers.
Validators who opt to install and run their nodes externally can use Launchpad by Energy Web to install and host their Validator Nodes. Find detailed instructions in our Quick Start Guide. {% endhint %}
