For Node Operators
This section is dedicated to individuals and organizations who wish to contribute to the Noderr Protocol's decentralized infrastructure by operating a node. Node operators are the backbone of our self-sovereign ecosystem, responsible for powering the network, ensuring its security, and participating in its governance. In return for their contributions, node operators are compensated with a share of the protocol's revenue: node operators collectively receive 40% of protocol revenue, distributed toward a tier-weighted share of that pool (node rewards are unfunded on testnet and none have been paid — no per-tier dollar figure applies yet).
The Four-Tier Node Structure
Noderr features a unique, four-tier node structure designed to accommodate a wide range of technical expertise and capital commitment. Each tier has a specific set of responsibilities and rewards, creating a balanced and resilient network.
- Micro Nodes: The entry-level tier, responsible for basic data collection and network monitoring.
- Validator Nodes: Responsible for validating transactions and securing the network.
- Guardian Nodes: A senior tier focused on protocol security, responding to threats and helping oversee technical upgrades. (Distinct from the Guardian governance chamber, which is one of the protocol's two voting chambers.)
- Oracle Nodes: The most advanced tier, responsible for powering the Autonomous Trading Engine (ATE).
Getting Started
To begin your journey as a node operator, please review the detailed requirements and responsibilities for each tier to determine which is the right fit for you. Each guide provides comprehensive instructions on the application process, staking requirements, and node setup.
