Deploy a Bridge Node

To ensure the best operational experience and long-term maintainability, Wanchain provides two distinct paths for node management. Please choose the method that matches your current status:

🟢 How to deploy a Bridge Node via XStake (Recommended)

Best for: All new node registrations and modern maintenance.

• Why choose this: This modern, web-based solution supports popular wallets like MetaMask and utilizes the Ethereum derivation path for addresses, offering superior compatibility and easier management for most users.

⚪ How to deploy a Bridge Node via WanWallet Desktop (Legacy)

Best for: Existing operators who previously created nodes via the Desktop wallet.

• Why choose this: This guide is intended as a technical reference for users who already have nodes running on the desktop client.

• Note: We do not recommend this method for creating new nodes. It utilizes the Wanchain derivation path for addresses.
