Quick Installation

You can quickly set up your EWM Light Client using our automated installation script:

# Download the setup script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/natashyaroo/Covalent-Light-Node/refs/heads/main/setup.sh

# Make it executable
chmod +x setup.sh

# Run the script with sudo
sudo ./setup.sh

The script will automatically:

• Install all required dependencies
• Set up the GO environment
• Install IPFS Kubo client
• Clone and build the EWM-DAS repository
• Configure and start your light client

Prerequisites

1. Join the Exclusive Waitlist

To participate in running an EWM Light Client, you must join the exclusive waitlist. Fill out this form with your name and email.

2. Whitelist Verification

Note: Only verified participants from the official waitlist will be eligible for testnet/mainnet access and future rewards.

After receiving whitelist instructions via email, you will need to submit two addresses:

1. Light Client Owner Address (Mainnet Wallet Address)

   • This address will receive rewards during the testnet phase
   • Will be used to get whitelisted for the mainnet launch

2. Burner Address

   • This address should NOT hold any funds
   • Will be used by the light client to sign completed work
   • You can generate a burner address using these tools:
     • Visual-Key
     • Vanity-ETH
     • Eth-Vanity

Important: Remember to:

• Save both the private key and public address

Monitoring Your Node

After installation, you can monitor your node using these Docker commands:

# Check if container is running
docker ps

# View container logs
docker logs light-client

# Check container status
docker stats light-client
