Join AdelPoint as a Node Contributor
Why Collaborate?
Do you have free space on your hard drive and a good internet connection? Then AdelPoint is just the thing for you. Become part of our self-sustaining and decentralized community by securely sharing your drive space to help users transfer their files.
Please note, that AdelPoint is currently in the experimental (alpha) stage. Node contributors won’t initially receive awards for their participation, but this feature is planned for the next (beta) release. In the meantime, it will help us to test this concept further, and improve the resilience of the service.
Become a Node contributor and START SOMETHING GREAT!

Running the AdelPoint Node
Three steps are requirement and need to be executed in the following order:
- Run eth.bat (Windows) or eth.sh (Linux) - These are needed to run the Ethereum node and support the Ethereum network
- Run ipfs.bat (Windows) or ipfs.sh (Linux) to run the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) service
- Run cluster.bat (Windows) or cluster.sh(Linux) to run the IPFS-cluster service.
Running eth.bat (Windows) or eth.sh (Linux) for the first time may take several hours as the Ethereum node needs to create a Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) structures and to synchronize the blockchain.
For the latest Windows and Linux install versions, check the Adelpoint website.
