Nubila on Monad: Validator Nodes, Dashboard Verification, and Trading NB/USDC

This guide explains Nubila’s activity on Monad today, how to run a self-operated validator node, how to verify your work inside the Nubila Network Dashboard, and how to trade NB/USDC on Monday Trade.

1) What “Nubila on Monad” means

Nubila uses Monad as the execution environment for its verification layer. Validator nodes help validate real-world environmental data and produce verified outcomes that become part of Nubila’s oracle truth.

At a high level, Nubila Validator Nodes:

• validate data packages by recomputing CIDs (hashes) tied to device outputs

• check metadata, timestamps, and device signatures

• coordinate with peer validators to reach consensus

• mark tasks as verified so only valid data is accepted into Nubila’s oracle layer

This is why you will see Nubila “activity on Monad” as operational validator work, not just token trading.

2) What you can do today (Self-run only)

Available now:

• Run a Nubila validator node on low-end hardware or a VPS using Web UI, CLI, or Docker

• Participate in daily validation tasks and consensus

• Track node status, validation history, and logs inside the Nubila Network Dashboard

Not available yet:

• Delegation / “stake behind validators” / fully managed node delegation

---

3) Requirements checklist

Before you start, prepare the basics:

Wallet

• An EVM wallet (Rabby / MetaMask / OKX Wallet, etc.)

• A dedicated operator wallet is strongly recommended (separate from your main holdings)

Network

• Monad Mainnet

• Chain ID: 143

• Gas token: MON

• The contract address for $NB on Monad is: 0x7d37a97bf234A5d194d965EdB2B3a01C5fb27126

Gas

• You must hold MON in the operator wallet to sign and submit actions.

Environment (recommended)

• VPS or always-on machine for stable uptime

• Stable internet connection

• Accurate system clock (time drift can break validation)

Part A — Running a Nubila Validator Node (Self-run)

Step 1 — Connect your wallet to the Nubila Network Dashboard

1. Open the Nubila Network Dashboard

2. Click Connect Wallet

3. Switch network to Monad Mainnet when prompted

4. Confirm connection

After connecting, you should be able to see sections like:

• Node tier / node status

• Validation Tasks

• Operation Logs

• Rewards / Points (depending on current rollout stage)

---

Step 2 — Fund MON for gas

Even though you verify activity inside the dashboard, your node operations still require signing and submitting transactions.

Recommended practice:

• Keep a small MON buffer in your operator wallet at all times

• If actions fail, check MON balance first

---

Step 3 — Choose your node tier (Cloud / Rainy / Sunny)

Nubila has three validator tiers, each with different responsibility levels and reward profiles:

• Cloud: Entry tier. Baseline validations like CID and metadata checks. Lightweight operation.

• Rainy: Mid tier. More redundancy and deeper cross-checking across tasks and peers.

• Sunny: Top tier. Strongest role in consensus finalization and higher responsibility streams.

If you’re unsure which tier to run:

• Choose Cloud for easiest setup and lowest ops overhead

• Choose Rainy/Sunny only if you can maintain consistent uptime and monitoring

---

Step 4 — Choose your deployment mode

You can run a node in one of the following ways:

Web UI (no-code)

Best for:

• fastest setup

• minimal technical work Tradeoff:

• less control compared to VPS/Docker

Docker

Best for:

• stability and auto-restart

• serious operators aiming for 24/7 uptime Tradeoff:

• requires basic server/Docker familiarity

CLI

Best for:

• automation and scripting

• deep visibility into logs Tradeoff:

• most technical option

VPS (recommended environment)

Most stable for uptime. Works well with Docker or CLI.

Step 5 — Install and start the node (operational checklist)

Because node packages and versions can change, always follow the latest official installation instructions.

5.1 Download from official sources only

• Download node software only from Nubila’s official GitBook / official announcements

• Do not install “repacked” files shared in chat

5.2 Start the node

Depending on your deployment mode:

• Web UI: launch the node UI and complete setup prompts

• Docker: run the container, map required ports, persist config/log volumes

• CLI: initialize config, start process, confirm it is running

5.3 Confirm the node is healthy

A healthy node typically shows:

• Online / connected status

• Recent activity timestamps updating

• Validation tasks being received or queued

---

Step 6 — Maintain uptime (what “running a node” actually means)

Self-run nodes require basic ops discipline.

Recommended ops checklist:

• Run on a VPS with stable internet (preferred)

• Enable auto-restart (Docker restart policy or system service)

• Monitor disk space (logs can grow)

• Keep system clock accurate (time drift causes validation failures)

• Apply updates only from official releases
