Preparation

Wallet Security Preparation

Security is paramount. You need a Bitcoin wallet that is fully under your control and supported by the DotSwap protocol.

UniSat Wallet, Xverse Wallet.

Critical Information Backup:

  • Mnemonic/Seed Phrase: This is the only way to recover your entire wallet. Be sure to write it down by hand on a physical medium and store it in at least two absolutely secure, offline locations. Never save or transmit your seed phrase in any digital format (screenshots, text files) on a networked device.

  • Market Making Account Address: You will need to designate one or more addresses for market making.

  • Hex Private Key for the Address: The Nexus software requires this private key to sign transactions. Please export it strictly according to your wallet's tutorial and keep it as secure as your seed phrase.

Server Infrastructure

Your Nexus node requires a stable server environment to run.

Server Providers:

It is recommended to use Amazon Web Services (AWS), Linode, or other reputable cloud service providers.

  • CPU: 2 Cores

  • Memory (RAM): 4 GB

  • Storage: 40 GB

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 20 (or newer) / CentOS 8 (or newer)
