Required Network Parameters

Parameters required to initialise a validator node and connect to the network

DevNet (0.6.4)

To initialize your validator node, you need the following parameters that define the network you’re onboarding to and the secret required for doing so.

• MIGRATION_ID — The current migration id of the network (dev/test/mainnet) you are trying to connect to. This value is frozen and must not be changed from the last value. You can find this on https://sync.global/sv-network/.
• SPONSOR_SV_URL — The URL of the SV app of your SV sponsor. This should be of the form https://sv.sv-1.dev.global.canton.network.YOUR_SV_SPONSOR, e.g., if the Global Synchronizer Foundation is your sponsor use https://sv.sv-1.dev.global.canton.network.sync.global.

ONBOARDING_SECRET The onboarding secret provided by your sponsor. If you don’t already have one, ask your sponsor. Note that onboarding secrets are one-time use and expire after 48 hours. If you don’t join before it expires, you need to request a new secret from your SV sponsor.

You can obtain an onboarding secret automatically by calling the following endpoint on any SV (replace SPONSOR_SV_URL with the SV app URL defined above):

curl -X POST SPONSOR_SV_URL/api/sv/v0/devnet/onboard/validator/prepare

Make sure to use the SV app URL (starting with sv.), not the Scan URL (starting with scan.).

Note that this self-served secret is only valid for 1 hour.
