Do you want to earn extra tokens? We have contribution opportunities in the challenges section of Stake Wars.

How does it work? Normally, it's sufficient to create a tutorial in the form of a video, a blogpost or Github document, that shows how to complete the challenge. These guides will help other validators and will help us identify you as a great candidate to run TestNet and MainNet validator nodes.

Contributions in other languages are encouraged but considered on a case by case basis. Updates to these guides, which may be necessary to reflect new releases of the tools involved, will be paid additional tokens at each revision, up to once per month, until Stake Wars will be over.

Once your work is done, reviewed and accepted, it will be added to the list on these challenges. Please note that rewards in tokens will need to pass basic KYC checks from NEAR Foundation, and comply with your local regulations.

Reply below, specifying:

• which contribution you want to do, and the link to the challenge
• the type of document you will release
• the date when you will publish the content (you can postpone a few days, no worries)

Once your reply is posted, we will evaluate the proposal, agree privately on the scope and the acceptance criteria, and you'll be ready!

If you see the reaction 👀 I've seen this If you see the reaction 👍 you got queued for the betanet tokens

@jimmy3dita
Sorry for the delay.

At origin, We planned to write a Prometheus exporter to monitor the near RPC calls easier. However, as we do half the job, we found that there has been a great one: near-prometheus-exporte . So we decided to use it directly.

My colleague at HashQuark forked the origin repo then add a docker-compose file (also update some settings) to make it easier to deploy than the origin one. Now users can deploy with one command docker-compose up -d after setting the config correctly. That's super simple!
repo here, refer to guide directory.

Besides the origin great guide by @masknetgoal634, We also write two guides here and plan to update them as needed:

Run a monitoring platform: https://github.com/dolphintwo/near-prometheus-exporter/blob/master/guide/GUIDE-compose.md (Chinese version)

Send alerts: https://github.com/dolphintwo/near-prometheus-exporter/blob/master/guide/GUIDE-alert.md (Chinese version)

Any questions or requests are welcome!

@jimmy3dita how do we check whether a contract has been locked? shouldn't the cli at least warn when it hasn't been locked?
