# Register Your Service Node

Now you'll register your service node using the command from Step 9.

#### Windows (PowerShell) or Linux

Open your wallet:

```
docker exec -it sn01 /usr/local/bin/xeq-wallet-cli --testnet --wallet-file=/data/sn01 --password=my_password --daemon-address=127.0.0.1:18091
```

(Replace `my_password` with your password)

Once the wallet opens, paste the entire `register_service_node` command you copied from Step 9 and press Enter.

Example (yours will be different):

```
register_service_node 10000 XEQTFN1Cenm1V1smLWY2tKYHLVtV67251DDQQdPx63eZERseiUSzDJv17Up9DPC3F7EcKeVnqDruzfdJV8WMfv1723GaX3Dy9u 18446744073709551612 1766483414 4a42a546e6cfa41c81168df81a385a7db0a66c2685070f09cb0c831880e74345 812e4d99c21dc540486aa7c919457b8355ed683830f6817c21c619ed3604fb03090cb8854fbb7c5769639fc4301194a5ef02a5f49337c37d86781d9b84f96009
```

If successful, you'll see a transaction confirmation. Your service node is now registered!

🎉 Congratulations! Once your service node is active and providing services to the network, you can start earning rewards for your contribution.

Verify Your Service Node

You can check your service node status by viewing the logs:

```
docker logs -f sn01
```

Look for messages indicating your service node is active and registered.

Once your service node is active and providing services to the network, you can start earning rewards! Keep your service node running to continue earning rewards for your contribution to the network.
