Register Validator Name and Icon

• Create a JSON Configuration File: You will need to create a JSON file containing the validator's name, logo URL, website, and contact information. This file will later be uploaded to the X1 Testnet smart contract.

Template for JSON file:

{
  "name": "VALIDATOR_NAME", /* Name of the validator */
  "logoUrl": "LOGO_URL", /* Validator logo (PNG|JPEG|SVG) - 100px x 100px */
  "website": "WEBSITE_URL", /* Website URL */
  "contact": "CONTACT_URL" /* Contact URL */
}

Example JSON configuration:

{
  "name": "Validator_1",
  "logoUrl": "https://yourwebsite.com/images/logo.png",
  "website": "https://yourwebsite.com",
  "contact": "https://t.me/your_twitter_name"
}

*Important: As a name of the server, do not include any special characters or spaces (e.g. Validator_1 is valid, but something like "🐧Validator #1" would not work).

• Upload the JSON File: Save the JSON file with a .json extension and upload it to your web server. The file should be available at https://yourwebsite.pub/.../validator.json, accessible to anyone with a web browser.

• Update the X1 Testnet Smart Contract: Visit the URL: X1 Testnet Smart Contract.

• Connect your Metamask wallet and navigate to section number 5 (updateInfo):

• Enter the URL of your JSON file (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/.../validator.json) and press 'Write':

• Upon completion, your validator's logo and name will be displayed on the list of validators at X1 Testnet Staking Explorer.
