Node Management

**Minimum Requirements**: - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 or equivalent - VRAM: 8GB or more - RAM: 16GB or more - Storage: 100GB SSD available space - Network: Stable broadband (10Mbps+ upload) **Recommended Configuration**: - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080/4090 or professional GPU - VRAM: 16GB or more - RAM: 32GB or more - Storage: 500GB NVMe SSD - Network: 100Mbps+ fiber **Supported GPU Models**: - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series (3060, 3070, 3080, 3090) - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series (4060, 4070, 4080, 4090) - NVIDIA Tesla Series (T4, V100, A100) - NVIDIA Quadro Series

**Step 1: Download Node Software** Download the node client software for your OS from W3A official website. **Step 2: Install NVIDIA Drivers** Ensure latest NVIDIA drivers and CUDA toolkit are installed. **Step 3: Configure Node** 1. Run the node client 2. Connect your wallet address 3. Set node name and description 4. Configure compute allocation ratio **Step 4: Start Node** Click "Start Node" button, system will auto-run performance tests and register to network. **Step 5: Receive Compute NFT** After node verification, you'll receive Compute NFT certification and start earning.

**Earnings Formula**: Node Earnings = Base Earnings × Performance Multiplier × Uptime Multiplier × Quality Multiplier **Factors**: | Factor | Weight | Description | |--------|--------|-------------| | Compute Performance | 40% | GPU model and actual performance test | | Uptime | 30% | Longer continuous uptime = higher weight | | Service Quality | 20% | Task completion rate and accuracy | | Geographic Distribution | 10% | Bonus for nodes in scarce regions | **Earnings Examples**: - RTX 3060 node: Est. 50-100 $W3A/month - RTX 4080 node: Est. 150-300 $W3A/month - RTX 4090 node: Est. 200-400 $W3A/month *Actual earnings depend on network task volume and node performance*

**Hardware Optimization**: - Ensure good GPU cooling to avoid thermal throttling - Use quality power supply for stable power - Clean dust regularly **Software Optimization**: - Keep drivers updated to latest stable version - Close unnecessary background programs - Set reasonable power limits (80-90% recommended) **Network Optimization**: - Use wired connection, avoid unstable WiFi - Configure router port forwarding correctly - Choose low-latency network provider **Operation Strategy**: - Set auto-restart to ensure continuous uptime - Monitor GPU temperature with protection threshold - Check logs regularly for anomalies

**Node Won't Start**: 1. Check if GPU drivers are correctly installed 2. Confirm CUDA version compatibility 3. Check log files for detailed errors **Abnormally Low Earnings**: 1. Check network connection stability 2. Confirm GPU performance test results are normal 3. Check if tasks are being assigned **Frequent Disconnections**: 1. Check network stability 2. Confirm adequate power supply 3. Check if GPU temperature is too high **Task Execution Failures**: 1. Check if VRAM is sufficient 2. Confirm model files are complete 3. Check error logs to locate issues If problems persist, contact AI Assistant for help.
