Understanding Nodes on Layer One X: A Guide for Node Operators and Stakers

3 min readAug 3, 2023

L1X nodes play a crucial role in securing and validating the blockchain, making it essential for both node operators and stakers to understand their significance. In this guide, we’ll explore the inner workings of nodes, their benefits, and how you can actively participate in the L1X ecosystem.

The Role of Node Validators in L1X Blockchain

Validators are the backbone of the L1X blockchain, maintaining integrity and security. By staking L1X coins, validators validate transactions and participate in the consensus process, ensuring a fair distribution of block proposers for a more decentralized network.

Types of Nodes on L1X Protocol:

L1X Protocol supports three types of nodes:

Event Listening Nodes (ELN),
Full Validator Nodes (FVN), and
Signing and Broadcasting Nodes (SBN).

Node operators can choose between ELN and FVN to participate in the Consensus Mechanism, contributing to the network’s robustness.

Benefits of Staking Nodes on L1X:

Participating as a node operator strengthens the network’s integrity, and stakers can earn regular passive income through rewards. It also provides users with the opportunity to shape the future of the blockchain ecosystem they believe in, fostering a sense of ownership and community engagement.

Users Staking into Delegated Liquidity Pool

Staking into the delegated liquidity pool allows L1X Coin holders to delegate their stake to Full Validator Nodes, earning rewards based on their staked amount and calculated rewards. This approach maximizes decentralization and security, allowing everyone to directly participate.

The Role of NFTs in Hosting L1X Nodes

NFTs enable users to become node operators and participate in the ecosystem. “Right to Node” NFTs offer unique opportunities to host Event Listener and/or Full Validator Nodes, contributing to network security and earning rewards.

By actively participating as node operators or staking assets, users become integral contributors to the growth and sustainability of the L1X ecosystem. Unlock the full potential of Layer One X by exploring the official documentation and joining the decentralized revolution. Embrace the future of blockchain technology and be part of creating a more secure, transparent, and inclusive digital ecosystem.

For a comprehensive understanding of Layer One X nodes, refer to the official L1X Node Documentation. Please note that the information is based on the Mainnet-Beta launch, and the L1X Foundation reserves the right to make changes until the official launch in January 2024.
