How to Earn with Nodes in 2025?

In this short guide, we will explain what steps you need to take in order to successfully launch a node:

1⃣ Step One: Choosing a Project

The very first step for a node runner is to choose a reliable project. You can search for new projects on your own, but it takes time and effort.
With xNode, you get a list of top projects, carefully selected by our team.

2⃣ Step Two: Server Equipment

After choosing a project, make sure your setup meets all its technical requirements so your node runs stably and profitably.
You can use your own PC or rent a server — but it must work without interruptions. Otherwise, your node (and rewards) could be at risk.

3⃣ Step Three: Node Status

Regularly check your node’s status and update it on time.
Most operations run on a test network, where errors can happen.
Identify issues quickly so you can react fast and keep performance stable.

4⃣ Step Four: Community

It is important to remain active within the node runners’ community and on the project’s social media platforms: keep track of announcements, take part in discussions, complete required procedures, and fulfill assigned tasks.

At xNode, we make the launch process as simple as possible: full node management, timely updates, and end-to-end assistance with long-awaited airdrop. With just a few clicks — and you’re ready to start earning.

Top 5 Relevant Nodes for Fall 2025

We’ve prepared a list of the most relevant and promising projects that will be in the spotlight throughout Q3–Q4.

1⃣ Nexus

A Layer 1 blockchain for the AI era. In its previous testnet, more than 2.1 million users and 3.6 million nodes participated over just five days. Nexus is backed by top investors — Blockchain Builders Fund, Dragonfly Capital, Lightspeed, Pantera Capital, which increases reliability and the chances of significant rewards once the mainnet launches.

2⃣ Drosera

Decentralized solution that empowers developers to create secure and private next-gen applications. Drosera has raised $4.75M from top investors, including Greenfield Capital, Anagram Crypto, and other top funds. Backed by strong funding and an active ecosystem, Drosera is seen as both reliable and potentially rewarding once the mainnet launches.

3⃣ Datagram Network

A decentralized real-time communication (RTC) infrastructure built on latent network resources. Datagram raised $4M in a pre-seed round led by BlizzardFund with support from Animoca Brands and other top investors. The project has launched an incentivized testnet, promising rewards for active participants, and continues to expand its growing community of testnet nodes.

4⃣ Aztec

A Layer 2 solution for Ethereum that brings privacy to blockchain through zero-knowledge cryptography. In December 2022, Aztec raised $100M in a Series B round led by a16z, with participation from A Capital, Variant, and Coinbase. With strong funding and a proven team, Aztec is considered highly reliable and potentially rewarding once the network goes live.

5⃣ Blockcast

Decentralized content delivery network. The project raised $2.85M in a seed round led by Lattice Fund, with participation from Protocol Labs and Solana co-founder A. Yakovenko. A large node network and strong backers make Blockcast a promising candidate for rewards.

All of the above projects are already available on xNode — just a few clicks, and you’re ready to start earning.
