Manage Burner Wallets

The Operator Portal provides an intuitive interface for bulk management of all your Checker Node Clients by importing their burner wallets. A burner wallet is the "disposable wallet" that identifies your Checker Node Client. For the purpose of this guide, "Checker Node Clients" and "Burner Wallet" are used interchangeably. You can export a burner wallet by following this guide.

First-Time Connection

If you have not yet connected a burner wallet to your account, you will be prompted to add your first one.

1. Click Add Burner Wallet Now

2. Copy the private key from your Checker Node Client and enter a name for the wallet (optional, up to 64 characters). The name helps you distinguish between different clients.

Error: The wallet has already been linked

A burner wallet can only be linked to one operator account. If a burner wallet is already connected to another account, you will receive the following prompt: "The wallet has already been linked."

Why are private keys required?

Burner wallets are off-chain wallets, meaning they are not cryptowallets where you can transfer tokens. Their only purpose is to receive node delegations and earn rewards for the linked Owner wallet. The Operator Portal requires access to the private keys of these burner wallets to verify that you are the legitimate operator of the Checker Node Clients associated with them.

Adding Additional Wallets

You can connect multiple burner wallets at a time by clicking Add Burner Wallet Now at the top of your burner wallet list.

Disconnect

If you wish to disconnect a burner wallet and stop managing the associated Checker Node Client, click the Disconnect button next to the wallet you want to remove from your account.
