This session is being held in collaboration with @dorianvp and @Juanky from the **Zingo!** team, and will include two types of participants: **stakers** and **finalizers**. **This is your opportunity to see Crosslink in action and try staking for yourself.** **Stakers** will be able to download the Zingo! mobile wallet or a Shielded Labs desktop wallet to: - Connect to the Crosslink testnet - Receive testnet ZEC (cTAZ) - Perform basic staking actions **Finalizers** will be able to join the BFT network without any manual intervention from the team. Participants will be able to: - Add, remove, and move stake between roster members - Observe stake accumulation as PoW blocks are finalized - Join without sharing an IP address. A laptop is sufficient, although running a publicly accessible server will improve network resiliency, since traffic currently routes through visible nodes. This will be a **fun, hands-on session** where you can watch live staking and finalizer activity unfold on the Crosslink testnet. Participants will receive **limited-edition Crosslink NFT badges** , available in three rarity levels. Builds for **Linux (Ubuntu 24.04)** and **macOS** will be provided ahead of the workshop. Please let us know if you have any questions. ---

Any specific hardware requirements or dedicated IP/open ports etc needed for a virtual server? ---

I’ll use a VPS 3 by MyNymBox with a public ip for the full experience, but you can use your smartphone or your laptop connected to internet but without exposed services. ---

So, simple SSH access to the VPS should also be sufficient, right? ---
