To create a NEAR account, please refer to Creating a NEAR Account (opens new window)

Learn how to register validator of the appchain via the following steps:

• Connect wallet
• Staking $NEAR

1. Log in to Octopus Network V2 Mainnet (opens new window) with the NEAR account.

And then complete the following steps to deploy and stake $NEAR:

• Input the amount of $NEAR
