How to Purchase Nodes

This guide is for anyone who's interested in participating in the whitelist and public sale.

Step 1: Connect your wallet

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

  • https://xprotocol.org/node-sales/whitelist/sale (whitelist sale)

  • https://xprotocol.org/node-sales (public sale)

• 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 ways on how to get ETH on the Base network:

1️⃣ Option 1: 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

2️⃣ Option 2: Bridging ETH from Ethereum 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.
