Managed FluxNode Service

If running your own FluxNode isn't for you, consider using a managed FluxNode service. These providers set up, host, and maintain your FluxNode on your behalf, while you retain full control of your FLUX collateral and can withdraw it at any time.

⚠️ Using a managed FluxNode service is a great alternative if you're less technical or prefer not to self-host. It offers convenience and peace of mind—but it isn’t risk-free. Do your homework, choose wisely, and always keep control of your collateral.


  • 📌 You are responsible for your funds at all times. We do not endorse any provider; always conduct your own research (DYOR).

  • ⚠️ Ensure providers have transparent pricing, secure infrastructure, and strong reputations before signing up.

  • ⚖️ Carefully review provider terms of service, refund policies, and custodial boundaries before transferring collateral or signing agreements.


How It Works

  • You provide your Flux collateral details (txid, output index, ZelID, Tiers etc.).

  • The provider hosts your node on VPS or dedicated hardware in reliable data centers.

  • You receive node earnings directly into your non-custodial wallet—you always keep custody of your FLUX.

  • Providers typically offer automatic updates, 24/7 monitoring, benchmark assurance, and uptime guarantees.

Benefits

⚠️ Risks / Considerations

✔️ No technical setup or maintenance required

⚠️ Monthly fees can outweigh node rewards (especially for low-tier nodes)

✔️ Reliable uptime with managed infrastructure

⚠️ Trust risk: your provider controls uptime and configuration

✔️ Auto updates, benchmark monitoring, support included

⚠️ Limited configurability compared to self-hosting

✔️ Scalable across node tiers—upgrade easily

⚠️ Risk of centralization if many users rely on the same provider

✔️ Non-custodial: you retain control of your FLUX collateral

⚠️ Poor support or mismanagement can affect uptime or earnings (reported delays in refunds or service)
