Join the Decentralized Network Revolution

Behold the watchtowers! In an age where truth is as rare as a quiet day on the internet, the watchtowers stand, not just as relics of the past but as Guardians of Verity. And now, with Witness Chain, you too can join the ranks, for in the future, every witness can be a beacon of truth!

Are you passionate about networking and have extra bandwidth to share? If so, you may be the perfect candidate to become a watchtower. By utilizing your unused bandwidth, you can engage in decentralized speed tests and location challenges. Join us in shaping the future!

Become a watchtower for Location Proofs

What You Need

  • Unused Bandwidth: Utilize your excess bandwidth to support network challenges.

  • Machine Specification: A machine comparable to an AWS t2 micro (1 vcpu, 1GB RAM and 5GB harddisk), though we recommend 2 cores, 4 GB RAM and 10 GB of storage.

  • Network Equipment: Ensure you have reliable networking hardware to participate in the challenge effectively.

  • Interest in Decentralized Networks: A passion for contributing to de-centralized networks and enhancing their security and efficiency.

How It Works

  1. Register Your Watchtower: Sign up as a Node Operator on Witness Chain's Infinity Watch by registering your watchtower. Provide details about your geographic location. Specific details are specified in the next section.

  2. Participate in Challenges: Your node will participate in network challenges on provers that require Proof of location. These challenges help verify the integrity and reliability of the participating nodes.

The next section details the technical steps in running a Proof of Location Watchtower client
