Run a node
Set up a sealed compute environment with ArxNode and earn $ARX for every verified build you deliver.
This guide sets up an ArxNode compute environment. You deliver sealed builds and earn $ARX for each verified result.
1. Check hardware compatibility
ArxNode requires confidential-compute capable hardware (a supported TEE). Run the compatibility check first:
arxnode doctor
2. Register
arxnode register
Registration records your environment with the network so builds can be routed to it.
3. Attest your environment
arxnode attest
This produces the cryptographic attestation that your environment is sealed and unmodified. Builds are only sent to environments with a valid attestation.
4. Accept builds & earn
Once attested, your environment accepts builds, runs them inside the sealed boundary, and earns $ARX for each verified result. You never see the plaintext you process.
arxnode start
Monitor capacity, rewards, and uptime from the operator dashboard.
Any attempt to inspect or tamper with a build invalidates the attestation and forfeits payment. The incentive is aligned with keeping the seal intact.
