Matrix AI

Before attempting to deploy and stake your Masternode, please confirm that you have already swapped enough native MAN tokens. 

You cannot stake a Masternode on the Matrix Mainnet using ERC20 tokens! 

If you have yet to complete your token swap, you may download the Matrix AI Network Token Swap Manual for detailed instructions.

Minimum Requirements:

10,001 MAN for Miner

100,001 MAN for Validator

Step 1: Create a Matrix Node Address from Node Forge

1. Purchase a node from our website.  Once the Node is created, you should receive an email notification similar to the one to the right.
2. Click "Activate Node" to be taken to the Node Forge website where you can complete setup of your node. 

Step 2: Retrieve your Matrix Node Address

1. After logging in, you will be taken to the remote setup page for your node.
2. At the bottom of the page will be listed a Matrix Address. This is your Matrix Node Address From Node Forge

*SAVE THIS ADDRESS FOR LATER*

Step 3: Create new a wallet (if you haven't already)
