**Step 0: Create a Wallet**First, you need to create or import a wallet, and you will assign your node to this wallet.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FIDQXCleK4w5DXW8Bvhpg%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=baac01ff-9a8f-4e64-b1e4-d2c0415ba979" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For tutorial purposes, we choose to create a wallet.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FwNaTX5yCCFINnzqxbahz%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=6eca4517-44c9-4664-a406-30f8573bbdae" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

After creation, you will receive a brand new wallet. **We strongly recommend that you keep your private key safe.**

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FQoObxTQuiXZPiWkBYRXA%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=16a63393-9d1a-477b-b914-f39ac67575a0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 1: Copy your wallet address**Please copy your wallet address and enter the Tabi Captain Node Dashboar&#x64;**<**[**https://app.tabichain.com/**](https://app.tabichain.com/)**>**

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2Fqna1bpx6I6jKEWsGXBH0%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=7ab34fa1-6bc5-4fb6-bc62-f5f17897023f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Please connect the&#x20;*****wallet address with Captain Node*****&#x20;here and complete the signature.**

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FXwIQFhaLoLGuuJOw0fF7%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=964d8e78-4162-49b2-b199-cd0c08559e8a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

After connecting, you will enter the Dashboard interface, where you can see the operating status of all your captain nodes.&#x20;

Let's enter the Node interface to complete the assignment.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FGzhxkBP0kJPk8jU27Uil%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=7aa5c683-dbf6-4845-a25c-39ab8ddc98e8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In the Node interface, you can see all the Captain Node information owned by your connected wallet. Let's allocate one of the Captain Nodes.&#x20;

(You can assign multiple nodes you own to run on one wallet)

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2Ful3Ykhf8N3a8AXURZeLJ%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=1ba32b22-0392-42e8-a975-2ea6b9221c1f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Paste your wallet address in Console client

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FdmR7Py1EMfJLDXSMsvc0%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=0932968a-ae41-4104-9ca5-25f4acfd2d29" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click \<Set> to complete the assignment, then let's return to the Console.

\
**Step3 : Initiate the assignments process in the captain console**Return to the Console and enter the Node interface, where we can see the request initiated on the Dashboard. Please click \<Accept> and confirm.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FdoZcTP4Fj7nV4IC1edIg%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=353ff2df-fec6-43ae-b7a8-ab726da9c2a9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Now you have completed the binding process of the node,** and we can see that your node has entered the running state in the newly created wallet address.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FxV0CW9q1anmO0T2e9Gnh%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=f609171d-a1a8-4e3c-ab87-787be89183f2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can also enter the Dashboard of Console to check the node status.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FeqwzW9GYZDIv4TGGIMsK%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=6e804459-1fdb-4f65-82b8-fad3e75ad3bb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Or you can check the status of all nodes on the Dashboard website.

#### **Additional Tutorial: Assign multiple nodes you own to a single address and run them.**

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FHCIkJA3rY79msKiPIw5z%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=5517f32e-20b6-463e-9836-f81720ea8373" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you have multiple Captain Nodes in your wallet, you can assign them to the same wallet or different wallets simultaneously. Here, I assigned the other 6 Captain Nodes to the wallet I just created.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FMPpO5KOicPETr3slqYiZ%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=350aa08d-195e-424e-bc46-2c8065f0e619" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FRkblOMZEvJSA4yPQVBY1%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=fb50911e-7e25-470e-ab50-427e335ff64e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Let's return to the Console, where you only need to click <**Accept All**> to complete the binding of all nodes.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2Fk1ybKUxiAnbudl1fgIbL%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=5ee6bdcf-7db5-4e3e-afda-cf33c314769d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We can see on the Dashboard that all nodes have started running.

#### **Notice：**

**Please note that the startup times for Captain Nodes at different tiers vary.** If your Captain Node has not yet reached its startup time, you will see it in a \<Waiting> status after assignment and can check the detailed startup time.&#x20;

**After you complete the assigned node, you only need to keep the node client running. When your node tier reaches the start time, your node will automatically enter the \<running> state.**

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FIf4osmdywJzaAZYhrRgi%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=2e7eba23-158a-467d-87ba-48960a61afc0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **Additional Tutorial: How to revoke your Captain Node**

If you want to revoke your captain node, and assign your node to another address, please follow the guide below.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FaontY0s4UgZjpOQQfDWo%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=8311e300-6a84-4c98-82fc-a7da79c635cf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Please enter the Node interface and click the button.

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FYfQDZPBJ4CwSCYmXYMxC%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=87b55665-871f-459d-b156-32da6875f000" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click and enter Dashboard

<figure><img src="https://272079694-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9yKg5DdtCaRfpqKB4OyG%2Fuploads%2FPMVGUhXj7iNsUWlCYv3y%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=f8f0c308-52d8-490e-87e1-80d0b7cdf55d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can see the Captain Node you just revoked is able to assign again.
