DevNet · wire-2
Run a validator on WireFluid
Bring your own server. The portal generates an install script pinned to this network’s genesis, boot nodes and verified binary, then watches the chain and tells you exactly where you are — peered, syncing, bonded.

How it works
Four steps. Nothing reaches into your machine — you run one script on your own server, and the portal only ever reads public chain state to confirm progress.
1
Describe your node
A moniker and the public address of your server. That is the whole form.
2
Run the generated script
It installs a checksum-verified binary, drops in genesis, wires the boot nodes and starts a systemd service.
3
Sync
The portal watches for your node id appearing as a peer, then waits for it to catch up to the tip.
4
Bond
Take test tokens from the faucet and submit create-validator. You appear in the active set.

WireFluid DevNet is a test network. Tokens have no value and the chain may be reset without notice. It exists so operators can rehearse the real thing.
