Entangled Ethereum Nodes Explained

PART 1

GET WALLET
To use StrongBlock Nodes as a Service (NaaS), a digital wallet is needed. MetaMask is a widely used wallet that is compatible with StrongBlock's platform.

We do not support multisig wallets.

GET ETH
You will need to buy some Ethereum (ETH) to cover gas fees for transactions. Please review our FAQ page on suggested ETH in your wallet.

GET STRNGR INTO WALLET
Connect your wallet to Uniswap or your crypto exchange of preference and get 10 STRNGR tokens into your wallet.

ADD EXTENSION
MetaMask can be added as an extension onto your browser through the MetaMask website. Chrome, Brave, Firefox, are compatible with MetaMask.

CONNECT WALLET
Connect your wallet containing the 10 STRNGR to the app.strongblock.com page.

CHECK GAS FEES
Gas fees fluctuate depending on the crypto-economy and can be checked through Etherscan Gas Tracker.



PART 2

SIGN UP TO NODES AS A SERVICE
Now that your wallet is connected and you have the necessary tokens, go to app.strongblock.com page and click “Sign Up Now”.

NAME THE RPC ENDPOINT
The name is up to you. Consider using a naming convention that helps you track if you have more than one.

GIVE THE ENDPOINT A DESCRIPTION
The description is up to you. Consider using a description convention that helps you track if you have more than one.

REVIEW TERMS
Please review our Terms of Service and check the box if you agree.

APPROVE STRNGR
If this is the first time your wallet is interacting with the Token Contract, you will need to approve the spending of STRNGR.

This "Approve STRNGR" step must be completed before you can proceed. You will be charged a separate gas fee for this Approve transaction and this is a one-time approval.

After the Approve transaction is complete, the Submit button will activate, click on that Submit button to complete the sign up process.

CONFIRM
Make sure to have enough Ethereum (ETH) in your wallet to cover the gas fees for the transaction. If gas fees are too high, you can wait until gas fees go down.

If you don’t have enough ETH or STRNGR you may receive an error message, letting you know your wallet does not have enough tokens.

WAIT FOR ENDPOINT
After submitting your transaction, it can take 30 minutes or more for the endpoint to appear. Do not submit your payment again. When the process is complete, you will see the endpoint listed under the “My NaaS” tab.


PART 3

WHAT’S NEXT
Once the endpoint appears, you will be able to view accumulated rewards, pay node fees and claim rewards.

Fees are not automatically deducted. When you create the endpoint, the first monthly fee is included. After that, you will need to pay the endpoint fee manually for each 30 day period. There is a 60 day prepay limit on endpoint fee payment.

Please see the FAQ page for answers to many common questions.

ENDPOINT NOT APPEARING?
Check your wallet transactions for:

- Approve transaction
If you only Approved the spending of STRNGR, but did not spend the STRNGR yet, the process is not complete.

Look at your wallet balance to see if the 10 STRNGR is still in your wallet.

- Pending transactions
Do not process the transaction again! You can choose to speed up or cancel the transaction. Click here for more information on speeding up/cancelling a transaction.

- Transaction canceled because it ran out of gas
You will need to process this transaction again. We recommend never using low gas. Click here for more details about adjusting gas in MetaMask.
