How to Purchase Nodes

Starting November 19 at 12 PM UTC, Xardian node purchases will be available only for XForge phone owners and our whitelisted partners and agencies.

Step 1: Connect your wallet

• Visit the XProtocol website of the node sale. Please double-check you are using the only official domain listed below:

  • https://xprotocol.org/node-sales

• Click "Connect Wallet" to link your crypto wallet.

• Rewards from running nodes will be airdropped to the same wallet that operates the node, and this cannot be changed.

Step 2: Ensure you have enough ETH

You need ETH on the Base network to purchase nodes and ETH on the Ethereum network for gas fees. Here are two (2) ways on how to get ETH on the Base network:

Fiat-to-Crypto

• Buy Base ETH from reputable fiat-to-crypto providers such as Transak, MoonPay, Ramp Network, Banxa, Binance, Coinbase, or OKx.

• Select ETH as the cryptocurrency to buy.

• Ensure you select the BASE network.

• Enter your correct wallet address.

• Note that some providers may require you to complete KYC

Bridge ETH to Base

• Visit the Bridge Base page: This allows you to transfer assets between Ethereum and Base.

• Connect your wallet: Use Ethereum wallets like MetaMask, Rainbow Wallet, or any other compatible wallet.

• Initiate Bridge:

  • Select the amount of ETH to bridge.

  • Confirm the transaction on the Ethereum network (you'll need to pay gas fees).

• Wait for Completion: Once the transaction is processed, your ETH will be on the Base Network.

Adding Base Blockchain to MetaMask

1. Open MetaMask:

   • Click the network selection dropdown at the top.

   • Click "Add network."

   • Select "Add a network manually."

2. Enter Network Details:

   • Network name: Base Mainnet

   • New RPC URL: https://mainnet.base.org

   • Chain ID: 8453

   • Currency symbol: ETH

   • Block explorer URL: https://basescan.org

3. Click the "Save" button.

You can now connect to the Base network by selecting it from the network dropdown menu in MetaMask.

Step 3: Purchase nodes

• Enter the number of nodes you want to buy

• If you have a referral code, enter it in the referral code field, then click "Apply"

• Read and accept the XProtocol Service Agreement by checking the box

• Click "Confirm Purchase."

• You will be redirected to your wallet to confirm the transaction.

• In your wallet, review the transaction details.

• Click "Confirm" to finalize the purchase.

Step 4: Success!
