Scalable, Decentralized Computational Network
What are zelNodes?
ZelNode operators supply dedicated computing power, which generates rewards in Zel for powering the network. There are multiple options for supplying computing power, including renting from a VPS provider, renting a dedicated server to host multiple ZelNodes, or purchasing a server outright and hosting it in a data center or well-equipped home/office.
TIERS
3 tiers of computational nodes, allowing anyone to participate
ZelNode Basic
10,000 ZEL
- 2 vCore
- 4GB RAM
- 50GB SSD
- 2.5TB Bandwidth
ZelNode Super
25,000 ZEL
- 4 vCore

Reward Structure
The block reward is split 75% POW / 25% ZelNode operators, for each and every block. The rewards for ZelNode ownership are designed to be stable with a sustainable ROI.
BAMF
1 Node receives 11.25 Zel per blockfind
Super
1 Node receives 4.6875 Zel per blockfind
Basic
1 Node receives 2.8125 Zel per blockfind
POW
Miners receive 75% of the blockfind for securing the Zel chain.

DETAILS
Note: The monthly cost to either rent or run dedicated hardware is significantly higher than earlier projects’ masternodes and should be researched thoroughly by a potential node operator. ZelNodes do much more than simply validate transactions.
High-availability
Hundreds of Nodes at launch
Over 1,000 highly-available ZelNodes on the network.
Nodes will power future dApps, Smart Contracts, Sidechains & Asset layers
VPS discounts through our partners
Support via Discord for Node operators
Benchmarking must meet minimum specs, uptime requirement: > 97%
Benchmarking will be performed per tier and based on results from the equivalently-spec’d DigitalOcean Droplet for the specs above. Uptime requirement allows for ~ 40 minutes downtime per day for maintenance, unforseen issues, etc.
