This repository documents my participation as a Fizz Node Operator on Spheron Network.
- Node Status: Inactive (previously active for 288+ days)
- Total Points Earned: 12,813 FN (~$60)
- Ranking: Top 10% among fizzers π
- Referral Codes Used: 1/10
Running Fizz Node gave me hands-on experience in:
- Maintaining uptime for 288+ days
- Setting up nodes in Linux environments
- Monitoring performance & resource usage
- Understanding reward distribution models in testnet phases
- Despite consistent uptime, rewards were relatively low (~$60).
- Node has now become Inactive, reflecting the end of one phase.
- Important takeaway: In decentralized testnets, long-term uptime doesnβt always equal high rewards β but the technical skills gained are invaluable.
- Focus on more rewarding and transparent testnets (e.g., Datagram, Vana, Union, 0G).
- Use learnings from Spheron to improve setup efficiency.
- Share experience with the community to help others evaluate ROI before committing resources.
