Claim your Seeker
Our thank you to Sylo Network supporters
As you probably already know, we are nearing the mint of the Seeker NFT.
So, we figured, what better way to reward the people who have been supporting our network and to give them a Seeker.
Seekers are now a requirement to be able to operate a Sylo Node (and a whole lot more). As a Sylo Node operator, you are best placed to put your Seeker to work.
To learn more about the Seeker project, visit the Discord.
Being on the Seeker whitelist will allow our node operators to mint a Seeker for free — you only pay transactions gas fees. All you need to do is follow the process outlined in this article.
Which Sylo Nodes are eligible?
All Sylo Nodes that have been online in the 90 days prior to our snapshot are eligible to claim a free Seeker.
We have taken a snapshot of all Sylo Nodes eligible for the Seeker whitelist. The snap shot is a list of Sylo Nodes that sent telemetry data to our server between 15:35 16 Dec 2021 and 15:35 16 Mar 2022.
To claim your whitelist spot, we ask that you prove ownership of the private key associated with your node ID by following the below instructions.
- Head over to the ‘Claim your Seeker’ web page here and get yourself added to the Seekers whitelist! Note — you have until 23 March to do so.
- Sign the Ethereum wallet address that you want whitelisted with your Sylo Node ID.
- If the Sylo Node ID is on our list, we will whitelist the wallet address. It’s easy as that!

More about the claim process
Sylo has never collected personal data from Sylo Node operators, since it is not required for the Sylo Network to function. However, we understand that our community has been working hard to support the Sylo vision by running Sylo Nodes. To acknowledge this support, we have devised a way in which Sylo Node operators can privately claim ownership of the Sylo Node they have been running.
Each Sylo Node is associated with a P2P ID. The Sylo Node holds the private key for this identity and uses the public key to identify itself on the network. Sylo maintains a list of node public identities that have been online during the past 90 days. A while back, we took a snapshot of this list of identities and we are giving our community a chance to claim one of these Sylo Nodes as the one they were running by associating an Ethereum wallet address with the node’s public identity.
This web page contains the list of Sylo Nodes we found during our snapshot. Sylo Node operators can use this page to see if their node is on the list and claim it by associating it with a signed Ethereum wallet address.
SECURITY NOTE: To claim a Sylo Node, you will need to provide us with your Sylo Node identity file. We will not store or record this file. If you are concerned: after claiming your Sylo Node, you can create a new identity by deleting the existing identity and restarting the node. A new one will be generated automatically. However, anyone using the Sylo Smart Wallet who is connected to your node will need to reconnect using the new QR code in the Sylo Node UI.
Finding Your Node ID File
Your Sylo Node ID is a file provided to the node with the --identity command-line argument, with the default location being ~/.sylo-node/node.id inside the docker container running your Sylo Node.
If you followed our setup guide, you probably mapped this to ~/.sylo-node/node.id in your local filesystem. If you did not follow our guide, you will need to track down this file on your own. Keep in mind, though, that the file could be on the filesystem inside the docker container used to run your Sylo Node.
If you made it this far, you should have all the information you need to make your claim. So head over to the Claim your Seeker page and get yourself added to the Seekers whitelist now!
