**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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FndhHq70IlECREyxMTtno%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8fb94c20-b3a1-49fb-bf50-853713c0cfed" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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/)**>**

<figure><img src="https://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2F867sYkTYRrf44UJ6NGec%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=949f9c68-658d-4002-9511-e0c0cf5c4cb0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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

<figure><img src="https://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2F2AyG731XhcQC2rwmm53r%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7425853f-f528-4704-88fd-46d9fe81c66b" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FsASKhZ3pSkHihHDg1HIu%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=41d91258-fe9d-4aa2-9f29-539ba3abfeda" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FDt9qBq0NbvtBAhK95UKE%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=75bb7812-1e89-4dd3-b38f-a275d9eaf78b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Paste your wallet address in Console client

<figure><img src="https://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FffxKVkg5ywtt3pdhkxG1%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=092842ba-f4e2-41f5-85f7-b08c7b534979" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2Fwr25x9epzl6XyK6GGqXn%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=1a92fe54-ba9e-4b63-b165-ee19a1d51694" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FV0G3fQtkqJdlKY2R0Llz%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e7f5213b-3c6f-4732-9430-7b990ed64fdb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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

<figure><img src="https://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FQqDgAaM6cltSTm4GksPM%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f9a1f544-7994-4233-a770-a50ec5629a05" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FIcdb9pihhU7eo7mnVskF%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3910f167-e0b5-4da9-87a8-597475f2ef68" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2F0AJ9GNQGvY5dUlBxaCNc%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2e9b2e55-202a-451b-b69f-06ef53e8058f" 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://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FKRfjgFFmGPDRHyceMjyl%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5414ad03-bee6-42b7-a4b7-7858ae0dabcd" 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.

<figure><img src="https://1508996006-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBUc06e4cR16ul5E6s11f%2Fuploads%2FXusJCuIeMSIDobqvXKBl%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a3c4d528-0133-44e5-84de-db677cbf4dea" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Please enter the Node interface and click the button.
