Instructions

Step 1: Server Setup

Set up server, linux OS is required, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or 22.04 LTS is recommended. Ubuntu 23.10 will work but requires extra steps, primarily because it does not allow Geth to be installed directly. Geth is the easiest method to generate an operator key.

<aside> 🚨

Separate operator keys are required for tBTC and TACo.
