Satelink Node Operator Guide

What is a Satelink Node?

A Satelink node is a server that processes RPC requests for DeFi protocols, AI agents, and machine workloads. You earn 50% of all revenue your node generates, paid in USDT on Polygon. No staking required.

Earnings Model

  • You earn 50% of every RPC call routed through your node
  • Rate: $0.00003 USDT per RPC call (varies by chain and method)
  • At 10,000 calls/day: ~$0.15/day = ~$4.50/month
  • At 100,000 calls/day: ~$1.50/day = ~$45/month
  • Tier multipliers: Bronze 0.9x | Silver 0.95x | Gold 1.0x | Platinum 1.1x
  • Minimum claim: 1 USDT | Paid on Polygon mainnet

Hardware Requirements

CPU 1 core 2+ cores

Uptime 95%+ 99%+

Reputation Tiers

Your reputation score (0-1000) determines your tier and earnings multiplier:

  • Bronze (0-199): 1,000 RPC calls/day limit, 0.9x earnings
  • Silver (200-399): 5,000 calls/day, 0.95x earnings
  • Gold (400-699): 20,000 calls/day, 1.0x earnings
  • Platinum (700-1000): Unlimited calls, 1.1x earnings bonus

Score increases by sending regular heartbeats and serving RPC calls.
