🌐 GROW Node Activation & Setup Made Easy
Welcome to the Connect Node Setup Guide! Whether you're brand new or just need a refresher, this article will help you understand how to activate and run your node software step by step.
🔌 When Do I Need to Activate My Node?
If you've bought nodes but haven’t turned them on yet, go to your My Nodes page. You’ll see a message like this:
Activate Nodes
You currently have 2 Grow Nodes Offline.
This means your node(s) need to be set up to start working and earning rewards.
🚀 Ways to Run Your Node
You can run your node in two main ways:
Locally – On your own computer (Mac or Linux only)
Remotely – Through a VPS (Virtual Private Server)
Local Setup gives you full control, while VPS setups are great for running your node 24/7 without needing your computer to stay on.
To get started, go to My Nodes and click the Set Up Nodes button. Then you’ll choose how you want to run it:
✅ Block Fabric (Easy and Recommended)
🌐 VPS providers like Vultr, Open Ocean, or others
🖥️ Your own computer (Mac or Linux only)
🧱 Setting Up with Block Fabric (Recommended)
Block Fabric is the easiest way to run your node in a virtual environment. It doesn’t require you to use your personal device and works in the background for you.
👉 Click Set up your node via Block Fabric to begin.
Note: If you received a BlockBot Mini, your Block Fabric login will be the same as your Connect wallet login.
🌍 Setting Up with Another VPS
Want to use another VPS service like Vultr? That’s totally fine!
You’ll need to follow some extra steps to connect, configure, and keep your node online.
💻 Can My Computer Run a Node?
Want to run a node on your own computer? Make sure it meets these minimum requirements:
OS: macOS or Linux (Windows not supported)
Processor: At least 4 cores
RAM: 8GB (16GB is better)
Storage: 100GB free on SSD
Internet: Stable, with 10 Mbps upload/download speeds
If your computer meets these, you’re good to go!
