Prerequisites for Running the EWM Light Client

1

Join the Exclusive Waitlist

To participate in running an EWM Light Client, you must join the exclusive waitlist. Provide your name and email by filling out this form.
2

Whitelist verification

Note: The EWM Light Client is open-source; however, only verified participants from the official waitlist will be eligible for testnet/mainnet access and future rewards.
Once you receive whitelist instructions via email, you will be required to submit two addresses:
  1. Light Client Owner Address (Mainnet Wallet Address):
    • This address will receive rewards during the testnet phase and will be used to get whitelisted for the mainnet launch.
  2. Burner Address:
    • This address should not hold any funds. It will be used by the light client to sign the work that’s been done. You can generate a burner address using the following resources:
      Important: Save both the private key and public address. Only share the public address with us.
    • Visual-Key
    • Vanity-ETH
    • Eth-Vanity
