Why linking is required
A running node is not enough by itself.
For a node to be allowed to participate in the Ratio1 network, it must have a
License linked to its ETH address.
Link your license to your node
- Open
app.ratio1.aiand connect the wallet that owns your license. - Go to Licenses & Nodes.

- Find the license you want to use.
- Open the license menu and select Link.

- Paste the node's ETH address.


- Confirm and sign the transaction in your wallet.
After the transaction is confirmed, that license is linked to the node address
you provided. 
Unlink your node from your license
- Open the license menu and select Unlink.
- Confirm unlinking.
- Sign the transaction in your wallet.
After confirmation, the node is unlinked from that license.
Change node
- Open the license menu and select Change node.
- Fill in the new node ETH address.
- Confirm the change.
- Sign the transaction in your wallet.
After confirmation, the license is linked to the new node.

Cooldown after unlinking
Once a node is unlinked or chaned with another one, a 24-hour cooldown period applies before another node can be linked to that license.
