# DeBoard Node Purchase - Setup

#### How to Get Started with DE-Nodes

**Step 1: Acquiring a DE-Key**

To begin earning rewards through operating a DE-Node, your wallet needs to hold a minimum of one DE-Key.

DE-Keys can be acquired using either $AVAX or $ETH (which will be converted to the $USDT equivalent at the time of purchase)

To make your purchase, navigate to [derboard.gg](https://deboard.gg/mint). Once there, you'll need to connect your digital wallet. After connecting, choose the quantity of DE-Keys you wish to acquire. If you have a promotional code, enter it to avail any discounts. Finalize your purchase by proceeding with the payment.

**Step 2: Visit** [**https://deboard.gg/node**](https://deboard.gg/node)

Visit your node and Avacloud will support you to run the node.
