🪙 7. Fund Your Wallet with RNGY

Before proceeding with validator registration, ensure your wallet holds enough RNGY to cover self-stake and transaction fees.

💰 Step 1: Verify Wallet Balance

Check the balance of your validator wallet using:

renergyd query account <your-address> \
  --node tcp://localhost:26657 \
  --home "$HOME/.renergyMainnetNode"

Replace <your-address> with your Renergy wallet address.

🔑 Step 2: Export EVM Private Key (For MetaMask)

If you plan to manage funds via MetaMask or other EVM wallets, export the EVM-compatible private key:

renergyd keys unsafe-export-eth-key validator \
  --home "$HOME/.renergyMainnetNode"

Copy the displayed private key and import it into MetaMask as a new account.

⚠️ Security Warning: Only perform this step on a trusted machine. Never share your private key publicly.

💡 Funding Your Wallet

If your balance is insufficient for validator self-stake:

• Transfer RNGY from another wallet or exchange

• Or fund the address after importing it into MetaMask

Once funded, your wallet will be ready for validator registration on Renergy Blockchain.
