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://

Note: Your Node ID and Node URL are provided by InstaNodes after deployment. Keep them ready before you open the Solver Dashboard.

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.
