DIMO Check-in
Hardware developers that are looking to develop devices are required to stake $DIMO tokens. Completion of this will grant you Manufacturing Licenses and allow you to begin with your development process. Before staking, check-in with a DIMO member to ensure that you have the essential documents ready and a confirmation of your signed MOU.

Once staked, you as a manufacturer will be minted on the blockchain. Currently this is done by the DIMO Foundation.
A manufacturer that has been approved by the DIMO foundation to manufacture DIMO platform compatible devices (Application, MOU, and a signed Manufacturing License Agreement) needs acquire a DIMO Manufacturer License.This ‘Root’ license enables a manufacturer to ‘mint’ new devices on chain to the DIMO network.The Manufacturer license is an NFT, and requires staking $DIMO tokens to DIMO.
A node must be created by the DIMO team. Please see the link below for a description of a node, and how a node fits into DIMO’s Identity Protocol. https://docs.dimo.zone/docs/identity-protocol/overview
Developer Notes
Contact the DIMO team to create your node.
Install the DIMO CLI.
Install Metamask or some other crypto wallet that supports the Polygon network.
In your wallet, switch your network to the Polygon Network, and ensure that you have some MATIC tokens in your wallet. The MATIC in your wallet will need to cover the gas fees required for the staking transaction.

Stake 100,000 $DIMO tokens. To do this, execute the following command:
Developer Notes
The 18 trailing zeros are due to the decimal formatting of the CLI, as one ether = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei.
Once staked, you can confirm your staked $DIMO:
You should get the following response:
Once staked, your DIMO manufacturing license should be transferred to your wallet, and you can execute the is-valid-license command again to ensure that you are all set:
Thats it! Now you have the required ROOT manufacturing license to begin minting new devices.
