In the middle of 2020, Phala finally walks into the phase of decentralization — You can now set up nodes to support Phala Network, anytime at anywhere. Testnet Rorschach is featured for functions that outline Phala’s value and vision of privacy protection such as NPoS and Dark Wallet. Phala Testnet are launching a new Rorschach Incentive Program in which you can participate.
There are two types of nodes on Phala Network:
Gatekeeper will be responsible for processing blocks and Keystore management, playing a crucial role to guarantee the utility and confidentiality of Phala Network. To run a Gatekeeper node, you need
Same as Polkadot validators, A well-behaved Gatekeeper will gain decent PHA return for himself and his nominators. Yet it could also lead to loss of reputation and PHA if he got slashed for being unconstantly online or being evil. To set up a Gatekeeper node, please follow this guide.
As for running a full-node, it’s much easier and simpler. All you need to do is to turn on your PC or laptop and follow this guide.
Note that both types of nodes will be rewarded in this incentive program. So read the guides now, get a bit warm-up, and prepare yourself ready for the coming rewards.
If you don’t have much time or experience on running nodes, you can be a nominator in the NPoS mechanism. Stake some amount of PHA to Gatekeepers or Gatekeeper candidates you trust, you will automatically receive returns from them once a month. As mentioned above, your return will be related to how well your Gatekeepers behave and how much commission they set. Still, this is leisurely and friendly enough for normal users to contribute to the growth of a blockchain ecosystem.
You can coin and transfer your own private assets on Phala testnet PoC-1, but now you can convert them from the private to the public or in turn. This will allow you to “hide” your assets at any time you want, and only present them when it’s time to be presented.
You can now submit proposals on-chain and apply for the place of Phala Council to further participate in the development of Phala community.
