Once you receive whitelist instructions via email, you will be required to submit two addresses:

1. Light Client Owner Address (Mainnet Wallet Address):
   • This address will receive rewards during the testnet phase and will be used to get whitelisted for the mainnet launch.
2. Burner Address:
   • This address should not hold any funds. It will be used by the light client to sign the work that’s been done. You can generate a burner address using the following resources:
     Important: Save both the private key and public address. Only share the public address with us.
