How to Create a StrongBlock Node using MetaMask Swap

#1

Requirements

  • A MetaMask wallet
  • 10 Strong tokens
  • Ether for transaction fees → $100 - $150
  • Google Chrome or Firefox Web Browser

  1. Buy enough Ether to cover your 10 Strong tokens and your transaction fees. You can use Coinbase, Crypto.com, or any exchange that will allow you send crypto. If you need a crypto converter, click here.

  2. Download MetaMask in the extension browser.

  • Google Chrome users, Open Chrome Web Store. Next, search for MetaMask in the store and download. Once downloaded, look at the top right of the browser, then click on the ‘puzzle piece’ button and look for the ‘thumbtack’ next to MetaMask. Click on it. Now, MetaMask is pinned to your Chrome Browser (this makes life much easier!)

  1. Create your MetaMask account. You will get 12 key phrases. Write them down or screenshot them, just make sure you protect your words with your life! You’ll send the Ether from whichever exchange you used, to the MetaMask address. By default, you’ll see Account 1 for your Metamask name. Under that is your address. You’ll copy this, then paste on the exchange when you withdraw.

  2. Once you withdrew your Ether, go to Metamask. When the Ether deposits into the account, go to the Swap feature. Swap your Ether into 10 Strong tokens. Use the converter in Step 1 to gauge how much Ether you’ll need for the strong tokens. After you confirm the transaction, you should have 10 strong and some extra Ether for transaction fees

  3. Go to StrongBlock and click on either Create Your Node Now or App at the top right of the page. Link your MetaMask wallet to the site. Next click Create Node and type the name and the description of your node. Be creative, you can name your node and description anything you want. After this, you’ll click on the box.

This box is letting you know that you are subjected to paying the maintenance fee per month on the node. This is very important! If you do not pay your maintenance fee, you will lose your node!

  1. Click Submit, then a prompt will appear on MetaMask. Click Confirm. Wait for a few moments, then another prompt will appear. This should be a higher price than the first prompt. Click Confirm again, then wait.

  2. If everything went through successfully, you’ll receive a page saying that your node was created!
