How to be a MASTERNODE

System Requirements:

• Download and install Java 21 on your machine
• CPU and stable internet connection

Step 1: Register your Wallet

1. Create and register your NewChain wallet to generate your public wallet address.
2. Keep your private key secure and never share it with anyone.

Step 2: Download the Node Software

1. Download the official NewChain JAR file here:
2. newchain.io/jarfile/masternode/newchain-v1.x.x (most recent version)

java -jar newchain-1.0.0.jar --node.id=<ALIAS> --node.peers[0]=http://mainnet.newchain.io:7107 --mining.minerAddress=<WALLET_ADDRESS>

1. Download the official NewChain SubNode JAR file here:
2. newchain.io/jarfile/subnode/newchain-subnode-v1.x.x (most recent version)

Step 3: Run the SubNode

1. Open Terminal or Command Prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where the JAR file is located:
   cd <file_path_where_the_jar_file_is>
3. Execute the following command:

java -jar newchain-subnode-1.0.1.jar --worker.id=<YOURMACHINE> --worker.wallet=<WALLETADDRESS> --pool.url=http://masternode.newchain.io:7107

• Replace <YOURMACHINE> with any preferred private name.
• Replace <WALLETADDRESS> with your registered public wallet address.

1. Once you see the message:
   “Synching to the chain...” – Your node is running successfully.

Step 4: Contribute, Earn, and Participate

1. As your SubNode contributes to network validation, you will begin earning NCX rewards.
2. You can store, transfer, or stake your NCX tokens to:

• Participate in governance decisions
• Support network stability
• Increase your potential rewards
