Initialize Prover Account

Brevis provides CLI utilities that streamline on-chain operations to initalize a prover.

1. Clone the bidder ops repo from /home/ubuntu:

   git clone https://github.com/brevis-network/prover-network-bidder-ops
   

2. From the tools directory in this repo, build the binary:

   cd tools
   go build
   

3. Update config.toml with the following fields:

   Section	Field	Description
   chain	keystore	Path to your prover Ethereum account keystore JSON
   chain	passphrase	Passphrase for the prover keystore
   init_prover	submitter_keystore	(Optional) Submitter keystore if using a different account
   init_prover	submitter_passphrase	(Optional) Passphrase for the submitter account
   init_prover	prover_name	Name that identifies you or your organization
   init_prover	prover_icon	URL of the icon that represents you or your organization

4. Run:

   ./tools init-prover --config ./config.toml
   

Note that this step will also auto stake a configured minimum amount BREV token to ensure prover meets the minimum self-stake requirement.
