Change Stake Address

To become a qualified BTC/XSAT Validator, a Validator must stake 100 $BTC or 2,100 $XSAT. This initial staking is critical to the security of the exSat network and must be completed directly by the Validator operator. Delegate staking cannot be used for this case. Validators must designate a staking address (an EVM address with sufficient tokens), and only this address can be used to complete the initial staking. You can change the stake address if needed.

1. Navigate to the "Change Stake Address" menu

If you're running from source code, please execute "yarn start-commander" to run the client.

yarn start-commander

If you're running with Docker, please use the following commands to run it in interactive mode (assume the container name is commander)

docker rm commander
docker run -it --name commander -v $HOME/.exsat/:/app/.exsat -e CLIENT_TYPE=commander exsatnetwork/exsat-client:latest

Then perform the "Change Stake Address" action by choose :

Validator -> Change Stake Address

2. Perform the "Change Stake Address" action

Enter the EVM address to be used for the initial staking and press Enter to set the stake address. The stake address can be modified multiple times before the initial staking is completed. However, once the initial staking is finalized, changing the stake address becomes irrelevant.
