Setup
- 1
Download and Open the App
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.

Your Wallet Is Created Automatically
On first launch the app generates your node wallet, keeps its key in your Mac's Keychain, and mints your free Utility NFT.

Keep Your Node Running
Leave the app running so your node stays online. It lives in the menu bar. New Mac versions are installed from this page.
Every platform creates its own node wallet and claims a free Utility NFT for it. The claim is gasless. It happens automatically.
Rewards
On testnet, a Micro node earns up to 0.1 NODR for each hour it is online for at least 45 minutes. One reward per wallet per hour, so at most 2.4 NODR a day per wallet. Rewards are paid weekly. A new wallet waits 7 days for its first payout.
