# Node registration and adding validators

To get started, you need a system, whether physical or virtual, to run your node and validators. Ensure that you have generated your own validator keys and imported them into Web3Signer. Additionally, make sure to create a dedicated validator client for Stader and set the fee recipient to Stader's Socializing pool. Finally, follow the steps provided in our guide for a smooth and trouble-free setup process.
