How to set up as a Block Producer on Vaulta (EOS)

A Vaulta block producer is an Antelope node that signs blocks when it is in the 21-producer schedule. The chain id is still aca376f206b8fc25a6ed44dbdc66547c36c6c33e3a119ffbeaef943642f0e906, the same id used when the network was called EOS. The native token is A on core.vaulta.

Split duties. Keep the signing producer off the public internet. Publish a seed P2P and a query API. EOS Support does this: p2p.eossupport.io:9876 and https://api.eossupport.io. The producer object in bp.json has empty public endpoints on purpose.

Create owner and active keys offline. Register the producer account with regproducer. Host a bp.json at a stable HTTPS URL (this site serves /bp.json) and push the same JSON through the producerjson contract so wallets and explorers can find your brand, location, and peers.

Peer a seed to several healthy nodes. In config.ini set p2p-peer-address = p2p.eossupport.io:9876 and other public seeds. Enable chain-api on the query node. Confirm get_info returns the Vaulta chain id and a moving head_block_num.

Votes come from token holders and proxies. Vote weight uses the Antelope week scale from 2000-01-01 UTC. A proxy such as eossprt.spt concentrates community votes without each holder listing 30 producers. Claim rewards only from the signing account after you produce.

Do not publish private producer IPs. Do not invent uptime. Show live get_info and rank from get_producers. Read the field notes on governance and public goods before you ask for votes.
