Which Node Role Suits You?
Edge Nodes and Keeper Nodes are suited to different levels of participation. In some cases, you may qualify for both roles.
- Edge Node:
This role is ideal for those with resources at the edge, such as bandwidth, storage, and compute capacity.- You may have substantial hardware resources and network bandwidth, with the ability and willingness to provide services.
- Alternatively, you may want to share idle hardware and network resources.
- Keeper Node:
This role is for deeper participation, as Keeper Nodes are responsible for maintaining the network’s security and stability.- Keeper Nodes require more stable servers, capable of remaining online consistently and connecting with multiple Edge Nodes for extended periods.
- Additionally, becoming a Keeper Node may require staking a certain amount of $REACH tokens as a commitment to service.
