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

For tutorial purposes, we choose to create a wallet.

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

**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/)**>**

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

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.

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)

Paste your wallet address in Console client

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.

**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.

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

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.**

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="/files/qumWNl7Lvsm8bXxz102w" 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="/files/dUcN7VgimgzILTkH8RKG" 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.**

#### **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.

Click and enter Dashboard

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