Good day, noderunners

Elixir is one of the most promising projects in the world of nodes right now.

The xNode team really believes in this project and wants as many people as possible to be involved in this story.

Today we are launching a raffle for 3 x Elixir for two months.

Good luck to all, winners will be determined next Saturday.

Greetings, xNode community.

Our team doesn't take a rest and is constantly improving our services. Today we would like to present you our new development - xNode Mini App (@xnodepro_bot). This service is primarily designed for your convenience.

Functions:
1) purchase, renewal, monitoring of your nodes (Store, Cart, Nodes Tabs)
2) enable notifications about the end of your nodes (Settings Tab)
3) possibility to farm XPoints, nobody knows what you can get for them🤫 (Tasks Tab).

In order to interact with your existing xNode account in the mini app, you will need to authorize through it when you first open the xNode Mini App.
It is also possible to authorize on the site via telegram if you have already linked your account to the mini app.

Stay tuned, there's a lot more cool stuff to come.

New Update from xNode Team!

We're excited to introduce a new and innovative node to our platform: Nillion.

What is Nillion? Nillion is a decentralized public network based on a groundbreaking cryptographic primitive called Nil Message Compute (NMC). This innovative technology allows nodes in a decentralized network to operate in a unique, non-blockchain manner. While Nillion represents a revolutionary leap from its predecessor technology known as Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC), it differs significantly in that network nodes do not need to communicate with one another. Unlike traditional blockchain systems, Nillion nodes do not run immutable ledgers designed to store transaction data.

Why Nillion? The xNode team believes that Nillion is a highly promising node due to its unique approach and the potential for significant advancements in the fields of AI and DePIN. The project had an ICO on Coinlist in late June, which means about the project's upcoming TGE. Don't miss your chance to get a drop from this project.

Funds raised: $40M

Discover the potential of this groundbreaking technology and become a part of the future of decentralized networks with Nillion today on xNode.

Full Nodes and Light Nodes

Full Nodes: These nodes download and store the entire blockchain’s history, making them essential for validating all transactions and blocks. They are the backbone of the network, ensuring complete security and decentralization. Full Nodes participate in consensus mechanisms, verify the integrity of new blocks, and enforce the network's rules. By maintaining a copy of the entire blockchain, they provide the highest level of trust and reliability.

Light Nodes: These only download a small portion of the blockchain, typically just the block headers. While they rely on Full Nodes for complete data, Light Nodes are more resource-efficient and can run on devices with less processing power. Light Nodes perform simplified payment verification (SPV), which allows them to confirm transactions without needing to download the entire blockchain. This makes them ideal for mobile and other low-power devices, providing a balance between usability and security.

Each type of node serves a specific purpose, balancing security and efficiency. Full Nodes ensure the network’s integrity and security, while Light Nodes offer accessibility and convenience. Together, they enable a robust and scalable blockchain ecosystem. We’ll explore other types of nodes next!

Stay tuned for more insights into the fascinating world of blockchain technology!

Latest Update on xNode!

We are delighted to present the newest addition to our platform: Unichain.

What is Unichain?
Unichain is a DeFi-native Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) platform designed to be the ultimate hub for cross-chain liquidity. With ultra-fast transaction speeds and reduced costs, Unichain aims to redefine decentralized finance by becoming the go-to destination for multichain liquidity.

Why Unichain?
Layer 2 from one of the major players in the market, Uniswap. The Uniswap team has distributed one of the largest airdrops in WEB3 history. The network has just been launched, and the xNode team is confident in becoming early adopters.

Funds raised: $188M (Uniswap)

Discover this revolutionary technology with Unichain today on xNode!

One more Update from xNode Team!
We are ready to introduce you to innovation node to our platform: Soneium.

What is Soneium? Soneium is a Layer 2 blockchain from Sony's Block Solutions Labs team, designed to evoke emotion and encourage creativity. Soneium aims to connect Web3 with everyday internet services, making blockchain technology more accessible to users around the world. Soneium offers the necessary tools and environment to develop your innovative projects.

Why Soneium? Soneium is an ambitious project from a big corporation - Sony, with tier 1 partners: Delphi Ventures, The Spartan Group, HashKey Capital, and others. The Minato Testnet launched quite recently, so it's a good time to install a node and become an early user. This presents a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of a project that bridges the gap between Web3 and everyday internet services, fostering creativity and innovation.

Greetings, noderunners!

We are announcing a giveaway for 10 Soneium and 10 Rivalz.

Giveaway conditions:

Shardeum Update!

We have updated all Shardeum to the latest version - 1.15.4.
All Shardeum noderunners need to go to the dashboard and restart the node. If there will be a problem with launching - use this guide.

If anyone will have problems with launching, please contact @xnode_support.

Hello everyone, friends!

Nillion Verifier program has come to an end and a snapshot has been taken by the project team.

We will be turning off all nullion nodes shortly.

Users who have bought nillion in the last two days and users who have extra purchased months of nillion nodes will be asked to contact the @xnode_support for a replacement node.
