info

PM2 is a process manager that helps you manage and keep your node running. For more information on PM2 commands and usage, refer to the PM2 Documentation.

By default, the validator will attempt to set weights every tempo. You need at least 1,000 TAO staked to set weights on mainnet. If you wish to NOT set weights, add the following flag to the run-validator command in the Makefile:

  • --neuron.disable_set_weights

Be sure to restart the validator after editing the Makefile to apply the changes!

pm2 restart all
