The ALICE Testnet NODE

| The Muon Testnet (aka ‘ALICE’) represents the testable state of the Muon project, and is designed for testing the functionality of Muon’s technical infrastructure on a large, public network without any risk to real funds. This means the ALICE token is only for experimental purposes and has no real market value. ALICE will allow both developers and users to experiment with features and capabilities of the network without the risk of financial loss. In addition, malfunctions and bugs can be found and fixed without the risk of a hack.

Anyone can now run a Testnet node on the ALICE network, and taking part is being additionally incentivized by a ‘node-drop’

Read full details, including participation incentives + a new addition to Muon network pathway! Link

Recommended Requirements:

A Linux server with 4 GB of RAM, dual-core CPU, 20GB of storage space

1) Update:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

If this is run successfully, the node's status can be viewed by opening the following address in your browser:

http://server-ip:8000/status

The result should look like this:

2) Adding the Node to the Network

To join ALICE, one needs to stake ALICE token. This dashboard is used for staking ALICE test token, and adding the node to the Testnet.

Here is a step-by-step description:

As ALICE's node manager is deployed on BSC Testnet, this network should be added to your wallet before you can start adding the node. The "SWITCH NETWORK" button can be used to add and switch to this network.

Just as the network is switched to BSC testnet, the following message appears if one does not have the gas tokens. Use the linked faucet to claim the required amount.

The node owner should then approve the staking contract to use the tokens.

Finally, the tokens are staked and the node is added to the network.

The fields Node Address and Peer Id are obtained from the node's status as explained in "Running the Node". In the following graphic, the node's address is shown in green and the Peer Id in red.

To test whether or not your node has successfully been added to the network, open the following link in your browser.

HTTP://server-ip:8000/status

| If it is added correctly, you should receive a json response whose isOnline is true
