Micro node on Windows, Mac or a browser
A Windows PC, a Mac or a browser can run a Noderr micronode. Each one creates its own node wallet and claims a free Utility NFT for it. The claim is gasless.
Windows
Windows 10 or newer, x64. No admin rights needed.
While it runs, your node shares part of your internet connection. Sites others visit through it see your IP address. Stop the node to stop sharing.
- Download the installer from micronodes.noderr.xyz/windows and open it. If Windows shows a SmartScreen notice, click "More info", then "Run anyway". It installs just for you.
- On first launch the app generates your node wallet and mints your free Utility NFT. Use "Back up wallet" to save an encrypted keystore.
- "Keep node running" is on from the first start, so your node stays online even after a reboot. Leave it on. The app lives in your system tray. Right-click the tray icon to open the dashboard or pause.
Mac
Intel or Apple Silicon, macOS 12 or newer.
While it runs, your node shares part of your internet connection. Sites others visit through it see your IP address. Stop the node to stop sharing.
- Download the app from micronodes.noderr.xyz/mac, open the file and drag Noderr Micronode into Applications.
- The app is not notarized yet, so macOS blocks the first launch. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and click "Open Anyway" next to Noderr Micronode. On macOS 14 or earlier, right-click the app and choose "Open" instead.
- On first launch the app generates your node wallet, keeps its key in your Keychain, and mints your free Utility NFT.
- Leave the app running so your node stays online. It lives in the menu bar.
Chrome, Edge or Brave
- Add the Noderr micronode from the Chrome Web Store: micronodes.noderr.xyz/chrome.
- Open the extension. It creates your node wallet and mints your free Utility NFT. Use "Back up / restore wallet" to save an encrypted keystore.
- Your node runs while your browser is open.
Linux
Linux steps are on micronodes.noderr.xyz/linux.
Keep it online
An hour counts when your node is online for at least 45 minutes of it and your wallet holds its Utility NFT. If your node shows offline, see My node shows offline.
