Running an Ora node is easier than you might think. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process, from purchasing your node to importing your keys into MetaMask. Let's get started!

What is Ora?

Before we begin, let's briefly touch on what Ora is. Ora is a verifiable oracle protocol that enables AI on blockchains. It's designed to make blockchains AI-native by breaking down the limitations of smart contracts.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

First things first, head over to mintair.xyz. You'll need to connect your wallet - we support MetaMask and various other popular providers. Once connected, select Ora from our list of supported networks.

Step 2: Choose Your Plan

Now it's time to select your preferred plan. We offer various options, starting at just $24.99 per month. You'll need to purchase credits first.

Step 3: Navigate to Active Nodes & enter Sepolia WSS and HTTP API links

Once you've purchased your node, go to the "Active Nodes" section. This is where you'll manage your newly acquired node. Now, you'll need to enter the Sepolia WSS and HTTP API links. These are crucial for your node to interact with the Ethereum network.

Step 4: Generate Links from BlockPi or Alchemy

If you don't have these links yet, don't worry! You can generate them using services like BlockPi or Alchemy. Here's how:

• Sign up for an account on BlockPi or Alchemy

• Head to Apps under Ethereum > Networks > Ethereum > Sepolia

• Find and copy the WSS and HTTP API links provided

Step 5: Submit the Form

Once you've entered the required links, submit the form. This initiates the node deployment process.

Step 6: Wait for Deployment

After submission, your node will begin deploying. This process may take a few minutes, so sit back and relax!

Step 8: Copy Your Private Keys

Once deployment is complete, you'll be provided with private keys for your node.Click on the “KEY” icon and copy your “PVT KEYS” It's crucial that you copy these and store them securely.

Step 9: Import to MetaMask Wallet

Finally, import your private keys to your MetaMask wallet. Here's how:

1. Open your MetaMask extension

2. Select "Import Account"

3. Paste your private key and click "Import"

Congratulations! You've successfully set up your Ora node and imported your keys to MetaMask.
