Help

Get started and get unstuck.

The real path from invite link to earning nodes — wallet setup, activation, uptime, rewards — plus answers to the questions node owners actually ask.

01

Get your invite

The community is invitation-only. Ask the person who introduced you for their share link and use it to create your free Connect account — there's no public signup.

02

Set up wallets with Auto-Link

Auto-Link creates your wallet and every partner-brand account in one pass — one recovery phrase, one encryption code. Brand accounts are required for your nodes and rewards to be assigned correctly.

03

Activate your nodes

From My Nodes, choose how to run them: Block Fabric (the recommended one-click host), any VPS like Vultr, or locally on your own Mac or Linux machine.

04

Stay online and earn

Nodes need at least 6 hours online per day (not necessarily consecutive) to earn. Track pending and distributed rewards in your BlockBot Report — and model scenarios in the calculator here.

Frequently asked

How do I join or get a node?

BlockBot is a referral-based project — there's no public checkout or self-serve signup. Reach out to the person who invited you; their share link is how you create your free Connect account, and they'll walk you through getting your first BlockBot, node, or NFT. If you're just exploring, the calculator and everything on this site is open to everyone — no account, no wallet.

How do I activate my nodes once I have them?

Sign in to Connect, open My Nodes, and click Set Up Nodes. You'll get three options: Block Fabric — the recommended, easiest managed host (if you received a BlockBot Mini, a Block Fabric account was already created for you with your Connect credentials); a VPS of your choice, like Vultr, for 24/7 uptime; or running the software locally on a Mac or Linux machine (4+ CPU cores, 8 GB+ RAM, 100 GB SSD — one SmartNode per device).

How long does my node need to be online to earn?

At least 6 hours per day, and they don't have to be consecutive — the day resets at midnight UTC. A node that's offline isn't participating, so it isn't eligible for that day's distribution. If you can't guarantee uptime on your own machine, a managed host like Block Fabric or a VPS keeps you online around the clock.

I earned rewards but don't see them — why?

Most often it's the pending period: rewards sit as "Pending" for five days after they're earned before being distributed to your wallet. If it's been longer, check that your wallet is set up, your brand accounts are linked (you need a wallet for each brand of node you own), and your nodes are actually running. Your BlockBot Report at web.connectunited.com shows the status of every node and reward.

What are action points and my Complete Win Score?

Distribution runs on Proof of Action — more goes to the people who do the most. Each node carries action points, and you stack more from two directions: Connection Points for growing your community, and Blockchain Points for actions on-chain. Together they form your Complete Win Score, which sets your share of distributions — including the 10% of ecosystem transactional revenue that flows back to active BlockBots.

Do node licenses expire?

SmartNode licenses (BlockBots) are annual and expire after one year. You'll get a renewal notification as expiration approaches, and you can renew using WIN rewards you've earned, promotions, coupons, or other payment methods available at the time. Licenses are non-transferable and non-refundable per the purchase agreement.

Where does the calculator's data come from?

Reward rates are read straight from each chain's RPC (the distributor payout event), refreshed automatically. Token prices come from live DEX pools — most via the Elevate DEX API, some via DexScreener — refreshed every 45 seconds in your browser.

What is a halving?

Each chain has a fixed annual distribution pool that halves on the anniversary of its start date. The calculator applies upcoming halvings automatically when you model a time horizon.

Is the calculator financial advice?

No. It projects rewards from current on-chain rates and live prices, assuming distribution continues at the same level. Actual results vary with network activity, token price, and program changes. Digital rewards are earned for work and action on the network and are designed for utility in the ecosystem — not as an investment product. This tool is informational only.

Do I need to connect a wallet to use this site?

No. The calculator and this hub require no sign-up and no wallet connection — everything runs read-only in your browser.

Still need a hand?

For account or node issues, the official help center can take a support request. For everything else, the community is full of node owners who've been exactly where you are.
