Run a Validator node

PreviousConsensusNextMELD Staking

Last updated 1 year ago

MELD Nodes are the building blocks of the MELD ecosystem, integral to maintaining the security and robustness of our blockchain network. As a MELD Node, you will have the privilege of validating transactions, contributing to the decentralization of our network, and earning rewards. Anyone can run a node but there are multiple requirements. The main ones are:

  • Be an avalanche validator (needs 2000 AVAX staked on the node)

  • Maintain a high uptime on the node

  • Fluent communication with the MELD team for updates of the network and software

  • Stake of 100k MELD tokens, up to a maximum of 20M

Running a node improves the security of the network and allows for robust applications to be developed on the MELD network. As reward, MELD splits the revenue generated by the protocol with the network operators. The reward structure is divided on 3 main timelines:

  • 6% from treasury of all the MELD staked for the first 12 months of the network (network was created on May 2023)

  • 2% from treasury of all MELD staked + protocol revenue share (6 months)

  • protocol revenue share (forever)
