One datacentre versus thousands of nodes
A traditional host concentrates risk: one facility, one network, one operator. A decentralized network has no such centre, so one node failing is a local event rather than an outage.
Your server runs on one node, and its world and settings are synced to a standby node. If the node it runs on goes away, the standby starts with them: we tested exactly that before the spec was published.
You choose where it runs
The region is picked at deploy time from 50+ countries. Place the server near the people playing on it.
What stays completely normal
- A management panel: start, stop, restart, settings, the server console, files, a terminal and backups.
- The server in Unturned's Internet list with your token.
- A conventional payment flow: card or USDC through Stripe, or FLUX through ZelCore or SSP.
- Your world, downloadable at any time. Nothing is locked in.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my world if a node fails?
It is synced to a standby node, which takes over from the last save, and the server saves every 10 minutes.
