# Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following before you begin.

| Web3 wallet         | MetaMask, Keplr, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet                              |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Wallet funded       | Your wallet must hold enough BTC and TICS to meet the minimum liquidity requirements |
| Whitelisted wallets | A BTC wallet and an EVM wallet that you will register during onboarding              |
| Node URL (HTTPS)    | Your node must be reachable over HTTPS. The URL must begin with https\://            |

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Your Node ID and Node URL are provided by InstaNodes after deployment. Keep them ready before you open the Solver Dashboard.
{% endhint %}

### Node URL Requirement

The Solver Dashboard only accepts HTTPS URLs. Your Node URL must follow this format:

```
 https://(your-domain-or-ip)
```

If your node IP is not yet bound to a domain, you will need to set up an HTTPS proxy before registering.

#### How to bind your Node URL to HTTPS

* Set up a proxy server (nginx or AWS ALB). Route traffic from your node IP and port through ports 80 and 443.
* Configure the proxy to redirect HTTP (port 80) to HTTPS (port 443).
* Install an SSL certificate using Certbot (Let's Encrypt) or a third-party certificate.
* Map your server IP to your domain name.<br>

For a detailed setup guide, see: [How to get your server running on HTTPS using nginx](https://abhishek-raj.medium.com/how-to-get-your-server-up-and-running-on-https-using-nginx-in-10-minutes-9ea422bca447)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://qubetics.gitbook.io/qubetics-docs/solvers-dashboard-user-guide/prerequisites.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
