Benefits of Running a Node
Each node operator directly contributes to increasing the Oasis Network’s decentralization.
Commission from Staking Rewards
Node operators receive staking rewards for contributing to the network.
Transaction Fees
Running a validator and/or compute node is rewarded with transaction fees from processed transactions
Delegation Program
We are a permissionless network. Anyone with enough stake can run a node and participate in the network's governance decisions. You can also apply for delegations from the Foundation, as per the delegation policy below
Run a
Validator Node
Validator nodes propose and validate blocks in order to maintain and secure the proof-of-stake blockchain with specific technical setups and stake requirements.
Run a ParaTime Node
ParaTime compute nodes execute confidential EVM smart contracts and produce proofs of execution that are submitted to the consensus layer for finalization. The consensus layer secures and maintains state roots of all ParaTimes.
