# Run Node

### **How do I run nodes?**

Running a node is very straightforward and requires no complex steps; anyone can do it without any technical background.

You can operate nodes by visiting the node dashboard. Specific instructions could be checked [here](notion://www.notion.so/o/IvNXdf7Zv8fMA4jkhJ71/s/lCERrLGkwTm4gevWC6XT/~/changes/35/node-purchase-and-operation/run-and-delegate-hyperfuse-guardian-nodes/run-nodes).

### **Can I delegate Node NFTs?**

Yes, delegation of Node NFTs is supported. Specific instructions could be checked [here](notion://www.notion.so/o/IvNXdf7Zv8fMA4jkhJ71/s/lCERrLGkwTm4gevWC6XT/~/changes/35/node-purchase-and-operation/run-and-delegate-hyperfuse-guardian-nodes/delegate-node-nfts).

### **What time does the Node Rewards settlement start every day?**

The rewards for the previous day are settled at UTC 0:00 every day.

### **What are the daily rewards distribution rules?**

You can click [here](/rewards-and-contributions/rewards-for-hyperfuse-guardian-node-participants/node-operation-rewards.md) to view the detailed distribution rules.

### **What form are the rewards distributed in?**

The rewards are distributed in the form of $veSonic, which is deployed on Solana Mainnet.

### **Do I need gas to claim the rewards?**

Yes, to ensure the security of the rewards, you need to manually claim them. This process occurs on-chain, so you will need sufficient SOL balance in your wallet on Solana Mainnet to complete the claim.

### Is there anything I need to be aware of?

Ensure the stability of your Node Validators (addresses) network to increase the chances of your Node NFTs being selected for each round of validation. If the Node Validators (addresses) are inactive, the delegated Node NFTs will also be unable to participate in validation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hyperfusedocs.sonic.game/support/faq/run-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
