Running on SuperNoderz

Steps to run a Witness Chain Watchtower on SuperNoderz powered by Spheron network

The PoL Watchtower Client Node is a location challenger node that participates in the PoL (Proof-of-Location) protocol and measures the location claims made by a DePIN Prover.

PoL Watchtower Client Nodes can be run on community members’ laptops, desktops or even on cloud instances. As long as the node is running, there is a probabilistic algorithm that determines if the node will participate in a PoL challenge from the network.

Before a node can participate as PoL Challenger, it has to prove it's own capabilities (run a prover to prove it's own location - this mechanism is inbuilt in the watchtower client container). Additionally anyone can challenge the watchtower for it's own claim at any time.

You can now run the watchtower directly on SuperNoderz!

This is the watchtower's signing key, we recommend creating a new dedicated key with no funds in it

1. Register your watchtower key (steps listed below)
