Node Deployed Status

### **Step 4:** Secure Your Private Key 🔐

*   Once your Hyperspace Node is deployed, check and download your **Private Key**.
    
*   If you’re copying the Private Key, make sure you store it in a **.pem** file.
    

![Download Private Key](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c68ea92aced3bc043d5df5f8aaef12e3d92924cd68057f7adc1cf5626a204ffa.png)

Download Private Key

### **Step 5: Locate Your** `.pem` File 📂

*   After downloading your Private Key, navigate to your **File Explorer**.
    
*   Look for a file with the `.pem` extension (e.g., `b359d4b6-c505-4e6e-be5d-efdb94a868d1_KEY_PEM.pem`).
    
*   Make sure to store this file securely as it is crucial for accessing and managing your node.
    

![Locate .pem File](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/9858873d2ba5f5de7e1d624ec7fba149d7e2a0a54307bc82fb54e8fb2351de28.png)

Locate .pem File

### **Step 6: Retrieve and Import Your Private Key 🔐**

*   Open the [Hyperspace Node website](https://node.hyper.space/) and navigate to the **Private Key** section.
    
*   Click the **key icon** to open the Private Key interface.

Retrieve Private Key

*   A new window will appear:
    
    *   Click the **Upload File** button to upload your `.pem` file.
        
    *   Select the `.pem` file you downloaded earlier (e.g., `b359d4b6-c505-4e6e-be5d-efdb94a868d1_KEY_PEM.pem`).
        

![Upload .pem File](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/37ed5795f54a9ef81ca9df33ec5ca6c56f21dc3367591873f0f70cae8743c91f.png)

Upload .pem File

*   Confirm that the `.pem` file is successfully added, as shown in the interface.
    
*   After verifying the file, click **IMPORT KEY** to complete the process.

Import Key

### **Step 7: Check Your Points and Node Performance 📊**

*   On the [Hyperspace Node dashboard](https://node.hyper.space/) click on the **Points** button in the top-right corner.
    

![Check Points](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/acf4a362eb4f2b075109aa4c12f11601f428a3e27c6de919377376bfa7264c16.png)

Check Points

*   A new window will appear showing your **Performance Summary**, including:
    
    *   **Points Earned**: The total points accumulated by your node.
        
    *   **Uptime**: The time your node has been active (Note: This may differ slightly from actual uptime due to RPC issues).
        
    *   **Multiplier**: The current liveness multiplier of your node.

Performance Summary

**Note:** You will earn approximately **10 points every hour** as long as your node remains active. The **Uptime** displayed on the dashboard may differ from your node's actual uptime due to occasional **RPC (Remote Procedure Call) downtime**.

Additionally, you might see **“Failure”** messages under the Points History—these can be safely ignored as they do not impact your point accumulation. The total **points displayed** in the Performance Summary is what truly matters.

**Congratulations!** 🎉
