All You Need to Know About Xophi Nodes
Guardians and nodes are the core of Xophi’s network - but node operations can feel complex. The following guide breaks the process down step-by-step, showing you how to claim and delegate your Guardian Membership NFTs and understand how nodes work.
Claiming and Delegating Your Node Licenses
Step 1 - Meet Requirements
Before you start, check that you meet these requirements to claim your Guardian Membership:
You have completed all Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.
You understand that Guardian Memberships are non-transferable for the 1st year after genesis.
Claim your Guardian NFT from the platform you bought it on (if you won it in a giveaway, contact the competition runner).
Visit the official Guardian App.
Log in with the credentials you used during the Node Sale.
Complete any final verification steps.
Claim your Guardian Membership NFT.
Step 2 - Claim Guardian Membership
Step 3 - Use Your Membership
After claiming, you can choose how to use your membership:
Option 1: Run a Light Node
In the Xophi network, there are 2 types of nodes: Full Nodes and Light Nodes.
Right now Guardians can only run a Light Node which requires between 1 and 20 Guardian Memberships delegated to the node operator.
For Guardians with more than 20 memberships, you can split your Light Nodes up. For every 20 memberships, you will need 1 Light Node - so a Guardian with 46 memberships would need 3 Light Nodes (20 on the 1st, 20 on the 2nd and the remaining 6 on the 3rd).
Option 2: Delegate Your Membership
If you don’t want to run a node yourself, you can delegate your Guardian Membership to a trusted node operator:
Open the Gaurdian App
Choose either easeflow or Railway as your node operator
Delegate your membership(s) to help secure the network and earn rewards.
