🧱 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

Minimum Spec

OS

Linux (Ubuntu), Windows 10+

CPU

Dual-core 2.4GHz

RAM

4 GB

Disk Space

50 GB SSD (minimum)

Network

🛠️ 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

Rewards are calculated hourly and paid daily in $CONN.

📊 Node Dashboard

All node operators get access to:

  • Live analytics

  • Earnings overview

  • Trust Score health

  • Smart alerts if their node drops or goes offline

This dashboard is available on:

  • Desktop (Windows/Linux)

  • Web dApp (connect your wallet)

🧪 Advanced (Optional)

  • Port forwarding for multi-device nodes

  • Docker Swarm mode for scaling

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

  • SFTP secure hosting for ConnethCloud uploads

🧱 Join the Conneth Node Network

Once installed, your node will:

  • Broadcast to the ConnethMap

  • Be eligible for global routing traffic

  • Appear in your profile and DAO logs

Help build the backbone of the new internet — and earn while doing it.
