# GaiaNet

How to run your GaiaNet via SATEA

## **Step 1: Purchase a GaiaNet Node**

Login to [app.satea.io](http://app.satea.io/) and select GaiaNet

Select the number of nodes and node runtime.

After confirming there is no error, please follow the instructions to complete the payment.

## **Step 2: Wait for Node Deployment**

The system will automatically deploy and synchronize your purchased nodes after the payment is completed. The process will take 2 business days. No additional operation is needed from your end during this period. You can check the deployment progress and node details on MY NODES page.

Once the node is deployed, the system will provide you with the GaiaNet node URL, Node ID and Device ID.

## **Step 3: Add Your Node to GaiaNet**

On the official website <https://www.gaianet.ai/>, connect your wallet and click on "Node" at the bottom to add your deployed node.

Paste the Node ID and Device ID disclosed by Satea, then click Join to complete the process.

Open the node's URL, click "Chat with this node," then you can start a conversation with the AI model running on your node. This will help increase the node's throughput.
