You need to prepare some accounts, which will be used later for registration and running the exSat client. You can use the same EVM address for all the requirements, no registration on exSat is required for all these EVM addresses. You can use an existing EVM address from other networks, such as Ethereum. If you don't already have an EVM address, refer to to create one using MetaMask. You can follow to bridge $BTC to your EVM address.

For Synchronizers

  • An EVM address for receiving XSAT rewards: This is an EVM address, typically managed by the financial officer. All Synchronizer rewards will be distributed to this address, and the financial officer can use it to claim rewards.

For Validators

  • A EVM address with at least 100 $BTC for BTC validators or 2100 $XSAT for EXSAT validators: To become a validator and take part in the exSat consensus, you must stake at least 100 $BTC to become a qualified BTC validator or 2100 $EXSAT to become a qualified EXSAT validator. You can , or buy $XSAT from the market. Please note that if you wish to run both a BTC Validator and an XSAT Validator, you must register separate accounts for each.

  • An account for receiving XSAT rewards: This is an EVM address, typically managed by the financial officer. All Validator rewards will be distributed to this address, and the financial officer can use it to claim rewards.
