# Run Node

The following documentation is intended to assist any individual or
organization in participating in the Oasis network as a node operator. To join
the network we recommend you first try running a node on the Testnet. The
Testnet is a playground where you can learn and experiment without the risk
of losing real tokens.
Welcome! This documentation is designed to provide you with a comprehensive
understanding and step-by-step guidance for becoming a node operator within the
Oasis Network.

Embark on your journey by setting up a node on the Testnet. The Testnet serves
as an experimental sandbox, offering a safe environment for learning and
experimentation, free from the risks associated with real token loss.

For any queries or support related to node operation, our team and community
members are readily available on [Discord] to assist you.

## Validator and ParaTime nodes

[Oasis Network] consists of the consensus layer and ParaTimes. Consensus and
ParaTime nodes can be operated by anyone.

To run a **validator node**, make sure your system meets the [hardware] and the
[system] prerequisites and has [Oasis Node] installed.

Then proceed by following the [Run a Validator Node] guide to:

* Create your entity.
* Initialize and configure your node.
* Put enough stake in your escrow account.
* Register your entity on the network.

To run a **ParaTime node** make sure to first set up a validator node. Then,
set up a [trusted execution environment (TEE)], if you want to run confidential
ParaTimes. Afterwards, proceed to the [Run a ParaTime node] chapter.
