TradeVibe is a non-custodial platform that lets you run an Onino validator node without managing any infrastructure yourself. You retain full control over your assets and private key — TradeVibe handles the technical setup, monitoring, and maintenance on your behalf.

This guide walks you through every step: from preparing your wallet to monitoring your live validator and earning ONI rewards.

Before launching your validator, make sure you have:

• Wallet: MetaMask installed as a Chrome browser extension https://metamask.io/
• ONI Balance: At least 35,000 ONI in your MetaMask wallet, plus a small amount for gas fees. You may stake more — higher stakes generally lead to higher rewards.

Note: TradeVibe does not take custody of your funds. Your private key always stays in your MetaMask wallet.

Note: Unstaking before the lock period ends results in loss of all accumulated rewards — only your original stake is returned.
