As a validator, it's not enough to maintain rock-solid, reliable infrastructure -- you also need to market yourself effectively and court delegations from prospecting delegators. Validator Profiles, hosted here on this Github repository give you a platform to give potential delegators and clients a brief introduction on your team, philosophy, architecture and infrastructure, and present your ecosystem contributions. If you need vouching from us, we'll apply a badge for any claims that we can validate.

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.

2. Clone the repo from your own account. Make sure you clone the repository from your account (your fork), NOT the original repo.

git clone [email protected]:xxxxxx/validator-profiles.git
cd validator-profiles/

3. Create a new branch and switch to a new branch by your validator name. For example:

git checkout -b Wraith-profile

4. Copy the template README.md and JSON Profile into your folder inside validators/<your-valoper-address>.

5. Change the contents and add your information as necessary. You can modify anything within your own designated validator folder, including adding image files, new folders, etc.

6. Commit and push the information to your repo.

git add -A
git commit -m "Edit Wraith profile"
git push origin Wraith-profile

7. Under your repo page, click the “New pull request” button. Make a Pull Request with our repository with a summary of changes. Name your PR with your validator moniker, and identify whether it is a "New Profile" or an "Edit to Existing Profile"

8. We will review your PR as soon as possible. If there is no problem with your PR, we will merge it into our master branch, which will update your Validator Profile. If it is your first time creating a profile, we will add your entry to the Validator Directory.

Registered validators (validators who have submitted a profile) can opt-in to receive support from Terra by putting their contact information in profile.json. Terra provides various validator-support such as automatic notifications when your validator is missing blocks or oracle votes.

{
    "contact": { // contact info for delegators / outreach
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "telegram": "@validator"
    },
    "notifications": { // notification settings
        "email": "[email protected]" // email to receive notifications
    }
}

A complete profile including Terravaloper, and an email in the profile.json section must be submitted to receive a checkmark in terra station. New profiles are manually reviewed by the repo owner, and then a second reviewer must approve addition to the Station Assets Repo. This is the final step in a complete profile.
