# 6. List your Validator Node on Cifer Chain Directory

Here's a simplified guide to register your node on the Cifer Chain Registry, ensuring it appears on the Chain Directory and becomes discoverable by users.

## **What you will need**

* Your Node ID
* Your domain name or IP address and port number
* A 1:1 aspect ratio PNG logo (recommended size: 1200x1200 pixels or larger)

## 6.1 Find your Node ID

Run the command `ciferd status` on your node.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
$ ciferd status
```

{% endcode %}

The output will display your node information, including your **Node ID** (look for the value under `"id"`) and **Port Number** (listed under `"listen_addr"`).

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
"node_info":{"protocol_version":{"p2p":"8","block":"11","app":"0"},"id":"..........","listen_addr":"tcp://0.0.0.0:26656","network":"cifer-2","version":"0.38.6","channels":"40202122233038606100","moniker":"cifer-2","other":{"tx_index":"on","rpc_address":"tcp://0.0.0.0:26657"}},"sync_info":{"latest_block_hash":"0789B66529173B4F2D3CD12160756604B1E847EFBC354549897AF819227C43B7","latest_app_hash":"A44931E14BB99F43B88E658E767A6688393CA2365BE405BC270F5AFE5669DCEB","latest_block_height":"1106","latest_block_time":"2024-07-11T14:36:50.038275228Z","earliest_block_hash":"122653E10DB3C3D45081CBAD158D9F0F2D48E481F80C2540EBB5CBCE698C8891","earliest_app_hash":"E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855","earliest_block_height":"1","earliest_block_time":"2024-07-11T14:18:06.506081329Z","catching_up":false},"validator_info":{"address":"8CBB6BEB430A62B23FFAD3ECEA2E5966F81ECB8D","pub_key":{"type":"tendermint/PubKeyEd25519","value":".........."},"voting_power":"100000000"}}
```

{% endcode %}

## 6.2 Register your Node ID

Head over to the Cifer chain's `chain.json` file located in the Chain Registry Repository on CiferAI's GitHub: <https://github.com/CiferAI/chain-registry/blob/master/cifer/chain.json>

Under the `"peers"` section, you can register as either a seed or a persistent peer. Add your node information using the following format:

* **"id":** Your Node ID (from [**"6.1 Find your Node ID"**](#id-6.1-find-your-node-id))
* **"address":** Your domain name or IP address followed by port (e.g., 34.128.114.243:26656)
* **"provider":** Your validator name

{% code title="chain.json" overflow="wrap" %}

```json
"peers": {
    "seeds": [
      {
        "id": "0e8ff52fd093a99bd08b3c294d683761fbad7ca8",
        "address": "34.128.114.243:26656",
        "provider": "Cifer"
      }
    ],
    "persistent_peers": [
      {
        "id": "3406d8c2f3f45f0a2364e2518d8da221186439d9",
        "address": "147.50.231.205:26656",
        "provider": "Nomad Block Validator"
      }
    ]
  },
```

{% endcode %}

Submit a pull request on the CiferAI GitHub repository with your updated `chain.json`

## 6.3 Upload Your Validator Logo (Optional)

* Prepare a 1:1 PNG logo file with a recommended size of 1200x1200 pixels or larger.
* Name the file with your Validator Address (e.g., cifevaloperxxxxxx.png).
* Submit a pull request to the CiferAI chainlist repository: <https://github.com/CiferAI/chainlist/tree/main/chain/cifer/moniker>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ciferai.gitbook.io/nodevalidator/6.-list-your-validator-node-on-cifer-chain-directory.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
