โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about running a DAGChain validator node

What happens to my test tokens?

All test tokens earned during TestNet validation will be swapped 1:1 for mainnet tokens when MainNet launches. There is no loss of value.

Can I run multiple nodes?

Yes! You can purchase multiple node keys and run multiple validators. Each validator operates independently and earns rewards separately.

What if I miss the TestNet launch?

You can join at any time after TestNet launch. However, early validators accumulate more test tokens and have priority in governance decisions.

Do I need technical knowledge?

Basic server management skills are helpful. We provide comprehensive documentation, video tutorials, and community support to help you get started.

What are the ongoing costs?

Main costs are your existing computer/Laptop and electricity. You can also run the Validator Node on a cloud server which typically costs around $40/month. Validation rewards typically exceed these costs significantly.

Can I sell my node key?

Node keys are tied to your wallet address and are non-transferable. However, you can always stop validating if needed.
