Become a validator
L'Économe operates Econome Chain as a permissioned QBFT network. Validators aren't open to anyone — they're an allowlist of clients who need shared trust over their own data and are onboarded deliberately. If that's you, here's how to join the validator set.
1Run a node
Get a Besu node synced against Econome Chain in one command:
npx @leconome/chain-cli start. See the run a node guide for details.2Submit your application
Run
npx @leconome/chain-cli apply to submit with your node's enode and address filled in automatically — or use the form below and paste them yourself (npx @leconome/chain-cli enode prints both).3Get voted in
L'Économe reviews your application and, once approved, votes your node into the QBFT validator set alongside the other validators.
