Become a Node Operator

Operator

Operators in the Streamr Network run nodes to relay data and earn DATA tokens.

Operators manage a smart contract that joins and stakes on stream Sponsorships that assign their nodes to relay data for DATA tokens.

If operating a node seems too complex, you have the option to hire a third-party service to manage a Streamr node for you. This is known as Nodes as a Service.

Delegate to an Operator

If you want to earn with your DATA tokens without the hassle of running a node, consider becoming a Delegator.

Delegators are token holders who lend their DATA tokens to Node Operators instead of managing nodes themselves. By doing this, they help Node Operators increase their earnings. In return, the operators share a portion of their profits with the delegators as a reward.
