Quickstart
The easiest way to run the Volara miner is with Docker - a containerization solution that manages the miner dependencies.
Obtain and Fund a Wallet
Any Ethereum-compatible wallets will work with Vana/Volara. We recommend getting started with metamask.
Create a Metamask Wallet
Create a Metamask wallet with this guide (opens in a new tab)
Obtain and save your <your_private_key> with this guide (opens in a new tab) (You'll need this later)
Fund Your Wallet
Volara uses the Vana network, so you'll need to fund your wallet with Vana tokens before you can begin mining.
The Vana faucet can fund your address here (opens in a new tab)
Add the Vana Network to Metamask
You can add the Vana network to your wallet to see Vana and Volara tokens here (opens in a new tab)
One-step install
Paste the following into a unix-like terminal for a one-step install which will:
- Install Docker
- Pull the latest miner image
- Run the miner
[ -f "volara.sh" ] && rm volara.sh; curl -s -o volara.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/volaradlp/minercli/refs/heads/main/run_docker.sh && chmod +x volara.sh && ./volara.sh
