# Registering SSV Operator

**Step 1:** Once you have logged in to [**ChainUp Cloud**](https://cloud.chainup.com/app/nodes), you will need to select the option of creating a new node(SSV).

**Step 2:** Now, type in the name of your node, and select the Blockchain, Network and Node Type.&#x20;

If this is your first time using SSV, you can select the `Testnet` option for the network type. This will allow you to test the SSV protocol without having to make a real payment. If you are ready to stake on the mainnet, select the `Mainnet` option for the network type.
