Horizon Node Operation

This guide will walk you through the process of becoming a Horizon Node operator and maintaining your node.

Becoming a Node Operator

To become a Horizon Node operator, follow these steps:

  1. Purchase a Node License Key:

    • Participate in our Node License Key Sale.
    • You need at least one Node License Key to operate a node and earn rewards.

  2. Prepare Your Hardware:

    • Ensure your hardware meets the minimum requirements (to be specified closer to launch).
    • A stable and fast internet connection is crucial for optimal node performance.

  3. Download and Install Node Software:

    • The VEMP Horizon Node software will be available for download post-launch.
    • Detailed installation instructions will be provided at that time.

  4. Configure Your Node:

    • Follow the configuration guide (to be provided) to set up your node correctly.
    • Ensure your Node License Key is properly linked to your node.

  5. Run Your Node:

    • Start your node and begin participating in network operations.
    • Monitor your node's performance regularly.

Running a node requires technical knowledge and consistent uptime. Make sure you're prepared for the responsibility before becoming a node operator.

Maintaining Your Node

To ensure optimal performance and maximize your rewards:

  1. Keep Your Node Active: Your node must be active to accumulate rewards. Consistent uptime is crucial.

  2. Regular Updates: Stay informed about software updates and apply them promptly.

  3. Monitor Performance: Regularly check your node's performance metrics and address any issues quickly.

  4. Security Best Practices: Follow cybersecurity best practices to protect your node and Node License Keys.

Delegating Node Operations

For enhanced security, you can delegate node operations to a different wallet than the one holding your Node License Keys:

  1. Use a "cold wallet" to store your Node License Keys securely.
  2. Set up a "hot wallet" for day-to-day node operations and reward collection.
  3. Follow the delegation process (to be detailed closer to launch) to link these wallets.

Detailed guides on node setup, maintenance, and best practices will be provided closer to the network launch. Stay tuned to our official channels for updates.
