Define the collator's address
define the collator's address
You can manually define the collator's address by specifying a custom key pair when starting the node. This is done by providing the node with a key file or directly specifying the keys using CLI options.
Using a Key File: You can generate your key pair using the Substrate CLI or another tool and store it in a file. When you start the collator, you can instruct the node to use this key:
The key file contains your private key, from which the public address is derived. This way, you can control which address your collator uses.
Specifying a Seed Phrase: Alternatively, you can specify the key using a seed phrase directly in the CLI:
This will generate the same address every time you use the same seed phrase.
