Guide to tie your verified Discord account to your human node

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to link your Discord account to your Humanode validator wallet address. Active participation in one person - one vote polls gets you up the validator leaderboard beyond completing all 84 epochs.

Step 1. First and foremost, you need to be an active validator and get bio-authenticated by getting a ‘Verified Human’ role on Humanode Discord. Here’s how to get the ‘Verified Human’ role: Guide to get a Verified role

Step 2. Go to Polkadot.js.org explorer and sign a message to get a signature. Here’s how:

I. In Polkadot.js.org extension, under the Developer section. Choose Sign and verify.

II. Choose your mainnet validator address, replace [username] with your Discord username and and sign the message.

Note: Use the address that you are using to run the node (Sample address: hmrpkmW4k6ZfxZEHCFBUSnhXe4ZJV7FjkFDCJAqqJCqjUFf4N)

You can get the Discord username by clicking on your profile in the bottom left of your Discord. Sample Discord username: ilikehumanode123
