**Step 3: Select "zNode" for the Node type** The "zNode" option should be selected by default. Click "Connect Wallet" to link the wallet that holds your zNode NFT. Once connected, click "Fetch NFT," and the system will automatically display the number of NFTs associated with your wallet.

**Step 4: Select your subscription duration.** Choose your subscription length. Longer subscriptions reduce the monthly cost. If you have NodePoints or a discount code, you can redeem them at this stage. After making your selections, click "Continue to Pay" to proceed.

**Step 6: Completing the Delegation**

A pop-up window will display your wallet address and associated NFTs. Click "Click to Delegate" again to confirm and complete the transaction in your wallet. Since the transaction occurs on the Arbitrum Blockchain, a small gas fee may apply. Once successful, you’ll see a transaction hash as confirmation.

**Step 8: Confirmation** Congratulations! Your Rivalz zNode is now fully set up. Visit Nodefolio to verify the status, which should change from "Click to Delegate" to "Running."
