Elixir Network is a versatile network that enhances liquidity in orderbook exchanges. It's cross-chain and composable, enabling orderbook DEXs to seamlessly incorporate it into their fundamental infrastructure. To date, it boasts nearly 30 integrations with leading DEXs.

The project's valuation has reached $800 million following its latest funding round, which saw participation from investors like Mysten Labs (creators of SUI), Arthur Hayes, and Manifold, among others.

As of now, you have the option to operate an Elixir Testnet v2 Validator. While this task is technically complex, we simplify the process for you.

So, let’s start with the guide ✨

**Step 1: Log In To Rapid Nodes & Add Credits**

**Step 2: Buying Elixir Node**

*   Now, navigate to the dashboard, select "Elixir," and buy the node for your desired duration.
    
*   Then, go to the “Active Nodes” section to verify if your node has been purchased.
    
*   If it is deployed, proceed to the next step; if not, allow some time for deployment.

**Step 3: Retrieving the Private Key & Importing It into MetaMask.**

*   Once your node is deployed, click on the "Private Key" button to view your private key.
    
*   Then, import this private key into your MetaMask wallet.

**Step 4: Enable Uptime Kuma Monitoring**

*   Upon deployment, an Uptime-Kuma icon will appear in your “Active Nodes” tab.
