Prerequisites

Set up a reliable environment

For optimal performance and security, it is recommended to prepare an environment with:

Stable internet: Ensure reliable connectivity.
Secure computing platform: Maintain a safe and robust computer environment.
UNIX-like OS with a terminal app/emulator: macOS, Linux, or similar systems are recommended for better compatibility with Node.js and CLI operations.

Install necessary command-line tools

cURL: A command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs. Please follow the official guide (opens in a new tab) to download and install it.
jq: A lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. Please follow the official guide (opens in a new tab) to download and install it.

Install Node.js 18.x version

Visit the Node.js official download page (opens in a new tab) to get the latest 18.x (currently LTS) version for your platform.

The npm (Node Package Manager) CLI tool will be included in the Node.js installation.

Prepare a wallet for operation

To facilitate safe and seamless operations, you can set up your wallet by following the steps below:

Keplr wallet

⚠️

Please keep in mind that a Keplr wallet with mnemonic phrase is necessary for Vota’s MACI operation. For more information, check out Keplr’s official guide (opens in a new tab).

Get the Keplr browser extension from the official channel (opens in a new tab).
Create a new account via mnemonic phrase, or import an existing one via mnemonic phrase.
A dedicated wallet account, used exclusively for MACI operations, is recommended.

Dora Vota Mainnet address

Add Dora Vota Mainnet (opens in a new tab) to your Keplr wallet.
Your Dora Vota Mainnet address will be generated automatically in your wallet.

Sufficient DORA tokens

Get sufficient DORA tokens for gas fees, which will be consumed in the operation process. To start with, we recommend you prepare 5 DORA.
Please keep in mind that you should acquire DORA tokens on the Dora Vota Mainnet.

💡

You can migrate your ERC-20 DORA tokens (opens in a new tab) or swap to get DORA on DEX (opens in a new tab).
