# 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>
