Getting Started

Welcome to the Nodia network—where your hardware becomes a revenue-generating AI node. This chapter serves as your turn-by-turn guide to joining the mesh and optimizing every aspect of your deployment:

• How Nodia Works Explore the full lifecycle of an AI workload on our mesh: from a developer’s task submission, through secure shard fragmentation and peer-to-peer dispatch, to zero-knowledge proof validation and instant on-chain NODIA settlement.

• Setting Up Your Nodia Device Follow our streamlined unboxing and installation procedure. You’ll learn how to power up your Core, Edge, or Atlas unit, initiate secure firmware updates, pair it to your Dashboard, and confirm that it’s actively processing tasks in minutes.

• Connecting to the Network Maximize your node’s uptime and performance by configuring network, power, and security parameters. We cover static IP vs. DHCP, firewall rules, UPS recommendations, ambient cooling requirements, and best practices for API key management and 2FA.

• Earning Rewards with Compute Power Master the Nodia reward formula—base rates, compute ratings, uptime multipliers, and complexity premiums—and discover strategies like strategic geolocation, horizontal scaling, and token staking to amplify your passive income in NODIA tokens.
