* add a node to the Validator Set
* create a Layer-1 Network
* deploy an EthereumVM
* perform transactions on your deployed EVM

{% hint style="info" %}
After step 1, you will need to get at least 100 JUNE to validate the mainnet . After this, you can proceed with step 2 -[ Add a Node to the Validator Set](https://docs.juneo.com/intro/validate/add-a-validator).
