DRAFT

NOTE: We are currently in the closed alpha phase for precursor miner testing. To set up and run the process below, you’ll need test ETH on Arbitrum Sepolia for your miner’s address. After generating the key from cortensord, you can obtain test ETH from a public faucet or contact us, and we’ll send some test ETH on Arbitrum Sepolia.
