This sections lists the prerequisites for using your tokens.
{% hint style="info" %} Currently, the only supported and documented way to use your tokens is by utilizing the Oasis Node CLI in combination with:
- Ledger-based signer, or
- file-based signer. {% endhint %}
To setup Oasis Node CLI, follow the Oasis Node documentation:
{% content-ref url="../../../run-a-node/prerequisites/oasis-node.md" %} oasis-node.md {% endcontent-ref %}
{% hint style="info" %} This is only needed if you will use the Ledger wallet to hold your tokens. {% endhint %}
To use the Ledger-based signer in combination with Oasis Node CLI, follow the Setup guide in our Oasis Core Ledger docs.
{% hint style="danger" %} We strongly suggest that you do not use any entity/staking account that is generated with the file-based signer on the Mainnet.
In case you need to use the file-based signer, make sure you only use it on an offline/air-gapped machine. Gaining access to your entity's/staking account's private key can compromise your tokens. {% endhint %}
There are no additional things needed since the file-based signer is a part of Oasis Node CLI.
