How to run Chipper Node

Hardware Requirement

• Fast CPU with 2+ cores

• 4GB+ RAM

• 2+ MBit/sec download Internet service

Six ways to run a chipper node :

Self-Host On Windows

1. Download the App: Get the app for your version of Windows (Windows 10 or Windows 11).

2. Launch the Application: After the download is complete, navigate to your Downloads folder and open the application.

3. Download the License: Go to the ‘My Node’ page on DIN node and download the license file.

4. Import the License: In the application window, click on the ‘Import License’ button and import the license key file. If the license is valid, the node will be activated.

5. Manage Multiple Nodes: If you have multiple nodes, launch separate instances of the application with different licenses.

6. Keep the App Open: Ensure the app remains open to continue earning xDIN.

Self-Host With CLI On Linux / Mac

For those who are more technically inclined and using Linux or macOS, you can download the CLI version of Node. Follow these steps:

1. Download the App: Obtain the CLI version of the Node app, named din-chipper-node-cli-xxxxx.zip, for Linux or macOS.

2. Extract the File: Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the ZIP file.

3. Open the File: Navigate to the extracted folder.

4. Download the License: From the ‘My Node’ page, download the license file.

5. Run the Command: Execute the following command to run the application with the downloaded license:

./din-chipper-node-cli-linux   --license=./mylicense

Your browser settings may block the direct download, so be sure to allow proper download permissions to complete this step successfully.

Self-Host With Docker On Linux / Mac

For those who prefer using Docker, you can host the node with the following steps:

1. Download the License: Obtain the license file from the ‘My Node’ page.

2. Run the Command: Use the command below to run the Docker container, passing the license content as an environment variable.

docker run -d  -e LICENSE=<LICENSE_CONTENT> --name my-din-chipper-node web3go2din/din-chipper-node:v1.0

CLI on Cloud Server

Chipper Node can be run on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a VM (Virtual Machine). When selecting the operating system in your virtual service, be sure to use the latest version of Ubuntu. The instructions below are based on the latest version of Ubuntu, but it may work with other versions. You may need to change your package manager commands depending on your operating system.

After logging into your VPS or VM, you can following the aboving steps as same as Self-Host

Node-as-a-Service (NaaS): NaaS providers

1. Log in to the platform

2. Select DIN and choose the service time

3. Enter the license content that user downloads from DIN and ensure it's valid. Users can enter multiple licenses.

Delegate the node operation to the delegatee

1. Delegatee list will be revealed soon

2. Users choose the delegatee and pay commission

Transfer node

The node is non-transferable for a period of six months following the Token Generation Event (TGE). All node rewards are tied to the node NFT. Once the NFT is transferred, all unclaimed rewards will belong to the new NFT holder.

Node Status

Once users start running the nodes, their status (Running/Offline) will be updated within ten minutes.

Before TGE: Users will receive rewards if their node handles xDIN requests. These rewards include xDIN network rewards(in $xDIN) and Network Bonus (in $BNB). The rewards will be displayed in real-time on the DIN page. A probabilistic algorithm determines if a running node will be selected to handle a request and the amount of xDIN the node operator will receive.

After TGE: In addition to rewards from handling xDIN requests, node users can mine DIN by keeping their nodes “Online.” Rewards are calculated based on the node's computing limit and cumulative uptime. Uptime is recorded from the moment a node goes Online until it goes Offline, with each Online-Offline session contributing to the total. Users must manually claim their DIN rewards, which will be subject to a vesting period. Users can choose to withdraw their rewards after 30, 90, or 120 days, with withdrawal ratios of 25%, 60%, and 100%, respectively. Any unclaimed portion of the rewards will be permanently forfeited, with 50% going to the treasury and 50% burned.

Users can check all their rewards on the DIN page.
