Check your Account Balance

Check your account has sufficient balance by running:

provider-services query bank balances --node $NEXQLOUD_NODE $NEXQLOUD_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS

You should see a response similar to:

balances:
- amount: "25000000"

  total: "0"

Your account must have a minimum balance of 5 NXQ to create a deployment. This 5 NXQ funds the escrow account associated with the deployment and is used to pay the provider for their services. It is recommended you have more than this minimum balance to pay for transaction fees. For more information on escrow accounts, see here
