Incentivized Testnet Guide (vota-vk)
The documentation on this page is outdated. Please be sure to check for the most recent information to ensure accuracy. Thank you for your understanding."
This document is to provide a guide for participants of Dora Vota’s first incentivized testnet (vota-vk, a.k.a. Van kedisi (opens in a new tab)).
The purpose of vota-vk is to prepare for an expansion of vota-ash network’s validator set from 3 to 11.
New validators will be able to stake their own DORA tokens, or obtain Dora Factory foundation’s delegation. In order for any validator provider to obtain delegation, it has to go through the Delegation Program, run a validator for the incentivized testnet vota-vk, and demonstrate good performance.
To register as a vota-vk incentivized testnet validator, please fill out
the application
form (opens in a new tab).
Join Vota delegation program
The delegation program will invite interested parties to run validator nodes for vota-vk network. You’ll validate blocks for vota-vk, vote for governance proposals, and get gas distributions.

Application form (opens in a new tab) submission
December 11, 2023 – December 18, 2023.
Run vota-vk testnet validators
December 24, 2023.
- If you have already been invited to our Telegram channel, you can immediately start to run your node and sync block data. For instructions on launching the incentivized testnet, please refer to “Run a Validator”. It is important to pay special attention to several parameters of the incentivized testnet that are different from vota-ash network, such as chain ID, RPC, and so on. Please also note that we use the
doradbinary file with version 0.2.0 in the incentivized testnet. Relevant network configurations can be found in “Public Resources”. - Ask for airdrop to activate your validator in our Telegram channel.
- Once your validator is up, add a firewall rule to allow
34.127.117.186to access port26660of your server. Enable prometheus metrics in config.toml. Send your moniker name and public IP to us.
Create validators on vota-ash network
TBD.
The first delegation program intends to select up to 8 new validators for foundation delegation.
