tip

You now have a running node in Local Bootnode configuration

Configure your node​

You can now configure your node to start scraping data as a miner, to fetch data from the network or to start participating in the network as a validator.

Set up a scraper: Miner Node​

If you want your node to earn rewards configure it to to scrape data on the Masa Protocol.

tip

You need to have setup your node and staked sepolia MASA to be able to scrape data!

Get data from the Network: Developer Node​

AI developers can get data from the Masa Protocol for free by running a Masa node locally or by using our API (coming soon).

caution

To get data from the Masa Protocol as a developer, you need to stake sepolia Masa with your node (no free leech) - you need 0.01Sepolia ETH for the sepolia Masa faucet to function.

Secure the Network: Validator Node​

Earn MASA rewards by securing the network:

  • Validator Configuration (coming soon!)
