For the node operators

Introduction to node operators participating in Witness Chain Proof Challenges

Are you a network enthusiast with bandwidth to spare, or perhaps a tech-savvy individual with a keen interest in decentralized networks? If you've got unused bandwidth and are eager to put it to good use, you're a potential Node Operator who can leverage that extra bandwidth to participate in running decentralized speed test or location challenges

Become a Node Operator for Bandwidth Proofs

What You Need

  • Unused Bandwidth: Utilize your excess bandwidth to support network challenges.

  • Machine Specification: A machine comparable to an AWS t2 micro (1 vcpu, 1GB RAM and 5GB harddisk), though we recommend 2 cores, 4 GB RAM and 10 GB of storage.

  • Network Equipment: Ensure you have reliable networking hardware to participate in the challenge effectively.

  • Interest in De-centralized Networks: A passion for contributing to de-centralized networks and enhancing their security and efficiency.

How It Works

  1. Register Your Node: Sign up as a Node Operator on Witness Chain's DePIN Coordination platform. Provide details about your bandwidth location. Specific details are specified in the next section.

  2. Participate in Challenges: Your node will participate in network challenges on DePIN provers that require Proof of Bandwidth. These challenges help verify the integrity and reliability of the participating DePIN network's nodes.

  3. Earn Credits (in future):
