    • Click the "Register Fizz Node" button.

  2. Filling Out the Registration Form

    • Operating System: Select the operating system you are using (MacOS, Linux or Windows).

    • Node Type: Select your GPU or CPU node.

    • GPU Model (if applicable): If you selected a GPU node, select the GPU model you are using.

    • Source Details: Enter accurate information about the transaction sources you will provide:

      • CPU cores

      • RAM capacity

      • Available storage

    • Region: Select the geographic location where your node is located.

    • Payment Tokens: Choose which cryptocurrencies you will accept as payment.

    • Gateway Selection: Considering the number of gateways and their proximity, select the gateway that is most suitable for you.

  3. ETH and Bridging

    • To complete your registration, you will need ETH for gas fees on the Spheron chain. If you do not have ETH, you can get it at faucet.spheron.network.
