The FluxOS is powered by FluxNode infrastructure run by individual Flux holders.
FluxNodes are geographically-spaced all over the world, so developers can be assured that their apps are accessible by users at all times and locations.
There are multiple options for supplying computing power the node operator decides what is best for them. You can host from home or rent through a VPS provider, you can use your own hardware be it a dedicated server, PC or ARM64.
FluxNodes require high-uptime, enterprise-grade hardware to operate on and provide real, useful computing power to the network.
Operating a FluxNode is available to anyone with the required Flux collateral and hardware, creating a fully decentralized network both in organization and geography.
Bad-actor mitigation is done through collateral requirements as well as benchmarking and anti-cheat measures built into the system.

The above requirements are the minimum that a node provider must have to overcome the benchmarking system. If a node owner provides more resources than the above, the network will use all the resources that can be found on the specific server.

The block reward is split 50% POW / 50% FluxNode operators, for each and every block. The rewards for FluxNode ownership are designed to be stable with a sustainable ROI.
Cumulus
Node receives 7.5% of blockfind or 5.625 Flux
Nimbus
Node receives 12.5% of blockfind or 9.375 Flux
Stratus
Node receives 30% of blockfind or 22.5 Flux
POW
Miner receives 50% of blockfind or 37.5 Flux
In order to run a FluxNode you need to meet certain required collateral and hardware specifications.
FluxNode RequirementsFluxNode Video Setup
Setting up a FluxNode is easy, you just need to be comfortable with working on the command line. There are multiple ways to setup a FluxNode and here we share the most used ones for beginers. Below are a series of video guides which walk you through the setup process bit by bit.

Multi-tool-box Installation Script
Our developers have built a multi tool box script for an easy installation of Fluxnodes. The multi tool box allows you to install, check or change parameters in nodes. But also the establishment of notifications on different platforms such as discord or telegram.
