FluxNode
Infrastructure
Support the FluxCloud by running FluxNodes – by and for the people. The FluxCloud is powered by thousands of FluxNodes connected from all around the globe, and the community is the backbone. By contributing their computational resources, individuals are incentivized accordingly.

The total block reward on the Flux blockchain is divided equally between POW miners and FluxNode operators for every block.
In addition, there is a hierarchy among the different FluxNode tiers, with the most computationally heavy FluxNode entitled to the largest share of the initial 50% distribution reserved for FluxNode.
To ensure the FluxCloud network functions optimally, multiple tiers of FluxNodes are available for deployment, each with specific collateral and hardware requirements.
Interested parties are encouraged to review the economic models associated with each tier through the dashboard to make informed decisions. The dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of the technical and financial parameters of each FluxNode tier, enabling informed selection.

Titan Nodes
The minimum collateral requirement for the base FluxNode tier may not be feasible for all participants. In such scenarios, alternative support mechanisms such as the Titan modulus have been developed to provide viable options for network participation.
The Titan Nodes managed by the Flux team enables users to pool their resources to run enterprise-level hardware, and in doing so, exposing them to a new customer set. From the user’s standpoint, Titan Nodes are similar to staking – no need to set up a node; just lock the collateral for a certain period with a few clicks, and get rewarded.
