Tweet thread: How to set up and run a node

Have you ever wanted to become a node operator?

With tBTC v2’s launch closing in, we’re onboarding more node operators to the Threshold Network.

But what’s in it for you? 🤔 🧵
There are 3 great reasons for becoming a node operator for Threshold:

1 - Learn a new skill

2 - Get first mover advantage

3 - Become part of a truly decentralized, scalable solution for $BTC on Ethereum

Ready to get started?
To get started, you just need to hold Threshold’s work token ($T).

And then you need to set up the Proxy re-encryption (PRE) protocol node. [NEEDS INPUT FROM VICT0R BEFORE POSTING]

Next, you’ll set up your tBTC v2 node:

Each node requires:
- A unique IP address
- A unique Ethereum Operator Account

After setting up your node, there are two more simple steps:

- Operator Registration
After that, you’re good to go 💪

It’s important to make sure you maintain a positive ETH balance at all times to ensure the uptime and operability of your node.

Running a node will teach you about data backup and security which are becoming increasingly important as the crypto space progresses.
