Node activation
Run a verified human node on peaq.
This page turns the technical node flow into a guided operator console: connect wallet, create local identity, attach peaq DID, generate registration payload, then submit for attestation.

Why activation has a review step
PHN rewards should go to real human-operated machines, not automated farms. The contract flow uses NodeIdentityRegistry and heartbeat-based reward accrual, but the project must still verify operator identity before a node becomes active.
Create local identity
The CLI hashes machine identity locally and stores the node profile on your computer.
Submit payload
Send the generated payload through support or the validator terminal.
Start heartbeats
After attestation, active nodes call heartbeat and accrue PHN rewards.
