Relevant Solutions for Building Nodes in Gladios Testnet
Since the second round of test net nodes deployment has been available for public, so far there are 20+ nodes have been successully become validators.
Meanwhile, we have received several reports from the participants that they have failed to extract the data sources and failed to set the session keys which subsequently resulted in the failing of becoming a validator and keep staying in the waiting line. Here, we simplified the two ways to run the node, they are Docker or CLI. Also there are some little tips about how to set the session keys and check out your configuration status.
Method A ：Use Docker
1.Run Node Services by Docker
docker run -d --name ares_gladios aresprotocollab/ares_gladios:latest gladios-node --name Ares_amor_4UaAfJ7EX9UsCtnUkVsbAqshH3EDN4h6Co7t8P5jPRTvLjqh --chain gladios --telemetry-url 'wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0' --warehouse http://api.aresprotocol.io --validatorWrite your name in a format of (Ares_TelegramUsername_bsc). Please fill out with validity, to ensure the counting of rewards and distribution.

2.Set Session Keys in Docker
docker exec -it ares_gladios bash -c "apt update && apt install -y curl && curl -X POST http://localhost:9933 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"id\":1, \"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\", \"method\": \"author_rotateKeys\"}'"{“jsonrpc”:”2.0",”result”:”0x74ed2791ab818797bc4a2caa78b01180cc52a5e95c8cd5286d2642b671c3986d00a93e91eaedd838f275f4c49f1c9a9c2525f7f34577c556f02bc357eddaa4dbf28ab5102be4fa22b6b8115765d290de0c6c91f37a265acecdf3782746bff32b”,”id”:1}
The result will be put in the session keys in Gladios testnet.
3. Check out Session keys local exist or not by docker
find the trade that you need to set session keys on aresscan

Q&A
Q: If I joined to be a candidate for validator nodes, how long I should be in the wait list?
A:
- Normally it’s 1–2 era , equal to 1–2 hours, if your configuration does not have probnlem you could also become a validator node.
- If the Validators limit is already filled (for example,24/24), then the tech. committe will lift the limit.(for example, lift it till 26).
- Other reasons, it might be your computer capacity is not met by the requirement for running a node.
Q: Why my node tend to be offline?
A: While you are operating without cloud server, it will be easily offline in your computer’s sleeping mode. If you are operating with cloud server, it’s better to set a screen session and run the program in the background, this will help to prevent from being offline.
Ares Protocol is a decentralized cross-chain Oracle that truly implements a new generation of cross-chain Oracle service protocol for data on-chain verification, and is the first to open a compensation channel for data users who suffer business losses from using Oracle data.
Ares Protocol is a stochastic secure Oracle solution developed based on the Substrate framework, supporting hybrid Babe and off-chain workhorses, incorporating Polkadot’s latest on-chain governance, bringing the Optimistic Rollup challenge model into the Oracle space, supporting the Ink contract ecosystem, and bringing better quality Oracle services to Defi developers.
