Run an Elder Node

ÆJT edited this page Nov 8, 2022 · 6 revisions

Your Fuego daemon is programmed to easily function as a network Service-Node.

This can be done when launching fuegod just by enabling the daemon flag of

--fee-address= along with a Fuego address where you wish to have your earnings sent.


such as...

./fuegod --restricted-rpc --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=18180 --fee-address=fire28CZKzRmpNcmfGfw4esY7UJxu5KmJ5wJGrykRSAVETCfA3yHe28c5Me8f6bSBF19s6p4Vi2yA1ry4Td8KnhKtDZYPVbUp9


This will allow your node to help process transactions for other users* whom need only make single transactions without the bother of downloading and hosting the full blockchain history. Elder Nodes therefore provide a service to any network wallets which prefer speed & ease-of-use, over need to store the entire Fuego blockchain on their machine.

Elder Node operators earn 0.25% of each transaction for every transaction their node processes. (percentage of 0.25% is based on Total Amount with each transaction) The maximum fee amount that any service node can earn per transaction is capped at 10 XFG.


(*Nodes are chosen either directly by sender using the custom node field within fuego-wallet; or will otherwise be chosen @ random if no specific node is selected)

Make sure to add your Elder Node to the list of remote nodes here so your node is listed as an option for users in Fuego GUI wallet.
