🧱 Conneth Node Installation & Operation

Conneth is powered by a decentralized network of community-run nodes. Anyone can set up a node to help power the platform — and earn $CONN tokens in return.

This guide explains:

• 🔧 How to install the Conneth Node software

• 📡 What roles nodes can play

• 💸 How mining and rewards work

• 🛡️ Node verification and Trust Scores

💻 System Requirements

Component	Minimum Spec
OS	Linux (Ubuntu), Windows 10+
CPU	Dual-core 2.4GHz
RAM	4 GB
Disk Space	50 GB SSD (minimum)
Network	Stable 5 Mbps+ connection
Ports	9200, 9735 (TCP/UDP open)

---

🛠️ Installation (Linux)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git curl docker docker-compose -y
git clone https://github.com/connethofficial/node
cd node
./install.sh

The node will:

• Auto-connect to the nearest Conneth gateway

• Download latest configs and security keys

• Begin heartbeat + mining process

---

🪟 Installation (Windows)

1. Download the Conneth Node Installer (.exe) from conneth.network

2. Run as administrator

3. Allow firewall/network permissions

4. Follow on-screen setup wizard

After setup:

• A desktop dashboard will appear

• You'll see your uptime, bandwidth served, and $CONN earnings

🧠 Node Roles

Nodes can serve one or more roles:

Role	Function
🛰️ Router Node	Relays wallet calls, VPN, and dApp traffic
📡 Hotspot Node	Hosts internet for nearby users (ConnethMesh)
💾 Storage Node	Hosts user content, media, profiles, etc.
🛠️ Validator Helper	Confirms Proof-of-Connection logic

---

🔐 PoC Verified = Max Rewards

To prevent abuse:

• Only wallets with PoC (Proof-of-Connection) verification can earn full mining rewards

• Unverified nodes may participate but with capped rewards

Each node must link to:

• A verified wallet ID

• A .conneth domain (e.g. master.conneth)

---

💰 Reward Logic

Metric	Weight
📶 Uptime	35%
🌐 Bandwidth served	25%
👥 Verified connections supported	25%
💾 Content Hosted	15%

Rewards are calculated hourly and paid daily in $CONN.

---

🧪 Advanced (Optional)

• Port forwarding for multi-device nodes

• Docker Swarm mode for scaling

• Tor-compatible relay node mode (for privacy focus)
