Turn a spare Android phone, your Windows PC, Mac or Linux box, or your browser into a micronode, the entry tier of the Noderr Protocol. Share idle compute with the network, build onchain reputation and earn NODR for the work it sends you. No minimum stake.
Every node earns a TrustFingerprint: a living, on-chain mark built from your uptime, success rate, and stake. It cannot be bought or transferred, and it follows you as you grow from a phone micronode toward Validator, Guardian, and Oracle. The higher your score, the more tasks you are routed and the more you earn.
Pick your platform. Requirements and setup steps are listed below.
Tap "Download for Android". Open the APK, allow your browser to install it when Android asks, then open Noderr Micronode.
Choose "Share its connection" to contribute the phone's mobile connection. Choose "Set up a full node" only to also run automation tasks. That needs the extra permissions below.
Read the in-app disclosure and give consent before sharing. Noderr traffic can use your mobile IP and data allowance. You can withdraw consent in the app.
Allow notifications when prompted, background running, and app updates. Connection sharing does not require Accessibility, Developer Options, or wireless pairing. After setup, check the app's connection status.
The app asks you to create a wallet during setup, or import one. Your free Utility NFT is then claimed automatically, with no gas fees.
Choose "Set up a full node" in the first-run wizard. This also requires Accessibility, Developer Options, Wireless Debugging, and pairing. Connect to Wi-Fi to pair. Create a wallet when the app asks. The Utility NFT is claimed automatically. These extra permissions are not part of connection-sharing setup.
Wi‑Fi works. Mobile data also lets your phone share its connection. Keep the phone plugged in. Choose the role in the first-run wizard. Settings has no role switch.
Full Android guideNo iOS download is available. Choose Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, or a supported desktop browser to get started.
Click "Download for Windows" above. Open the downloaded setup file. If Windows shows a SmartScreen notice, click "More info", then "Run anyway". It installs just for you, with no admin rights needed.
On first launch the app generates your node wallet and mints your free Utility NFT. Your private key is encrypted at rest on your PC. Use “Back up wallet” to save an encrypted keystore, or restore an existing one with your password.
“Keep node running” is on from the first start, so your node stays online and earns in the background, even after a reboot. You can turn it off in the dashboard. It lives quietly in your system tray. Right-click the tray icon anytime to open the dashboard or pause.
Runs quietly in your system tray and keeps earning in the background. Your wallet key never leaves your PC.
Full Windows guideRuns on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. First launch: open System Settings, Privacy & Security, then Open Anyway.
Click "Download for Mac" above and open the downloaded file. Drag Noderr Micronode into Applications. The app is not notarized yet, so macOS blocks the first launch. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and click "Open Anyway" next to Noderr Micronode. On macOS 14 or earlier, right-click the app and choose "Open" instead.
On first launch the app generates your node wallet, keeps its key in your Mac's Keychain, and mints your free Utility NFT.
Leave the app running so your node stays online. It lives in the menu bar. New Mac versions are installed from this page.
amd64 for PCs and servers. arm64 for Raspberry Pi 3, 4, 5 and Zero 2 W on 64-bit Pi OS. arm for 32-bit Pi OS. Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.
SHA256SUMSIn a terminal, run chmod +x on the file, then start it with ./ and the file name. The dashboard prints in the terminal.
Without a desktop it runs headless. With a desktop, turn on "Start at login" in the dashboard. It updates itself from signed releases.
Click "Get from Chrome Web Store" above and confirm "Add extension." Works in Chrome, Edge, and Brave (all Chromium-based, all support Web Store installs directly). The Noderr icon appears in your toolbar, pin it for quick access.
Open the extension. It creates your node wallet and mints your free Utility NFT. Use “Back up / restore wallet” to save an encrypted keystore. Your node then connects to the network and earns while your browser is open.
An unsigned, sideloadable zip is also available if you would rather not use the Web Store: download it, unzip into a folder you will keep, then open chrome://extensions, turn on "Developer mode," and click "Load unpacked."
Download the zipThe Chrome Web Store version is signed by Google. The zip above is unsigned and for Developer Mode only. Works in Chrome, Edge, and Brave while your browser is open.
Full Chrome guideCheck these three things.
On first launch the app creates your node wallet. On Windows the key stays encrypted on your PC. On Mac it is kept in your Keychain. In Chrome, the extension creates it when you open it. On Android, the app asks you to create a wallet during setup, or import one. If you skipped this step, open the app again and finish it.
The app claims your Utility NFT for you once the wallet exists, with no gas fees. The NFT is your network identity and activates your micronode. No wallet means no NFT, so step 1 comes first.
An hour counts when your node is online for at least 45 minutes of it.
Back up your wallet with "Back up wallet" (Windows) or "Back up / restore wallet" (Chrome), so a reinstall keeps the same node.
