# Start Service

### View Associated Devices

After completing the configuration of the cloud server, you can login the [**node client**](https://dashboard.boolscan.com/device) to config your device. The system will automatically show the device of the corresponding cloud server according to the connected wallet address (tBOL are required as the gas). The device default status is "Not listed".

### Stake Node Token

Click the "More" icon at the end of the device record row to display the device management menu, and then click the "Update PID" button in the menu to enter the staking page and complete the initial staking operation by sending the transaction on the chain.

Note: The minimum amount required for the first staking is **4000 tBOL**. After the staking is completed, the system will automatically register the device and assign the corresponding Pid, and then the device will turn into the "Run" status at the same time.

### Join DHC Network

When the node staking threshold is met, the node service of the current device can be formally activated by clicking the "Join Service" button in the menu and sending an on-chain transaction. Then the device will turn into the "Service" status, which means it has joined the DHC service network.

Note: The minimum staking threshold for joining the DHC service network is **20,000 tBOL**. Users can increase the amount of staking through the "Lock" button from device list menu or wait for other voters' staking to meet the minimum staking threshold.

### Checkout Node Rewards

If the node operates without any anomalies such as disconnections, the node income will be released at the end of every reward era. User can check out the total rewards at the statistics cards and the device rewards from the device list respectively.

Note: The reward distribution ERA of DHC nodes is **50 minutes** and the unpaid rewards will not expire.
