A Gnosis Validator Node can be hosted with Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, or Coinbase wallets.

When generating Gnosis validator keys through Allnodes, you will not receive a new mnemonic. Your withdrawal key is your GNO address. Access to your initial wallet is required when you decide to withdraw your funds after Phase 1.5. Attention! You don't EVER share your withdrawal private keys or mnemonic with anyone, including Allnodes.

During the process of hosting your nodes on Allnodes, you'll be asked to upload your json files. These files contain your Validator private keys. A validator private key is required for your Validator node to validate. It is not a withdrawal key and doesn't give access to your funds.

Your Validator key information is protected at all times with Allnode's secure multi-level shield system.

While we are a non-custodial service, when activating a validator node, technically your coins will be sent from your wallet to staking smart contract (mainnet): 0x0B98057eA310F4d31F2a452B414647007d1645d9 (Do not send GNO here directly)

Gnosis Staking is working on the Gnosis network. If you have GNO on Ethereum mainnet, you will need to bridge it to the Gnosis chain.

Use the OmniBridge to move GNO from Ethereum to GNO on Gnosis.

Exiting:

Exiting your Gnosis validators involves three steps:

Close your GNO validators by messaging us in the inner chat on Allnodes.com. We will exit them, which will halt your fees.
After we manually exit your GNO validators, we will inform you via the inner chat. Please wait at least 36 hours before claiming your rewards and initial deposit. You can claim your collateral along with any additional GNO rewards at: https://deposit.gnosischain.com/
Once you have withdrawn your GNO, please send us a message in the inner chat, and we will remove your nodes from the portfolio page.
