LFG Nodes Tutorial

Add a Node on the LFG Dashboard

Learn how to add your LFG node to the LFG Node Dashboard after HostDudes gets your machine up and running.

Before you start

This article assumes you have joined the HostDudes Discord, opened a hosting ticket, and received your node details from the HostDudes team. HostDudes prepares the machine, then you connect your own wallet on the official LFG Node Dashboard to add the node.

HostDudes will never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
