# FAQ & Troubleshooting

#### Can I redelegate my licenses to another node?

Yes. First undelegate your licenses in the Hybrid Delegation Dashboard, then delegate them to a new Operator Address.

***

#### What if my node stops running?

* **For self-hosted nodes:** Run `docker-compose up -d` again. If needed, pull the latest image with `docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d --pull always`.
* **For NodeOps:** Check your NodeOps Console. Ensure your subscription is active and renew if necessary.

***

#### Where are my rewards?

Rewards accumulate continuously. You can view and claim them on a monthly basis through the Hybrid Node Portal.

***

#### Can I run more than one node?

Yes. You can deploy multiple nodes — either on separate machines (for self-hosted) or multiple instances on NodeOps — and distribute your licenses across them.

***

#### How many licenses can a single node handle?

Each node can have up to **50 licenses delegated** to it.

***

#### Do I need to keep my wallet connected 24/7?

No. Your wallet is only required to delegate licenses and claim rewards. The node runs independently after delegation.

***

#### What happens if my subscription on NodeOps expires?

Your node will stop running and appear inactive on the dashboard. To resume, renew your plan on NodeOps.

***

#### What are the technical requirements if I self-host?

* A Linux server with Docker & Docker Compose installed.
* Recommended: 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB SSD storage.
* Stable internet connection with static IP preferred.

***

#### What RPC URL should I use?

Use a reliable Arbitrum RPC endpoint. You can use public endpoints like Alchemy, QuickNode, or your own node. Example:

```
arduinoKopiërenBewerkenhttps://arb-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/<API_KEY>
```

***

#### Is my operator private key safe?

Your private key is stored in your `.env` for the container to sign on-chain transactions. Keep your server secure and never share this key.

***

#### How do I monitor my node?

* **Self-hosted:** Use `docker-compose logs -f hybrid-node` to see live activity.
* **NodeOps:** View uptime and status directly on your NodeFolio dashboard.

***

#### Can I claim rewards anytime?

Rewards accumulate continuously but can only be claimed on a monthly basis.\
Visit the Hybrid Node Portal under the Rewards tab to claim your rewards each month.

***

#### Will there be penalties for downtime?

Nodes must maintain uptime for stable network operations. Prolonged downtime may reduce your rewards or impact eligibility in future incentive programs.

***

#### How do I update my self-hosted node?

The Watchtower service automatically pulls the latest docker image every 3 hours. To force an update manually, run:

```bash
docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d --pull always
```

***

#### What happens if I lose access to my server?

You’ll need to spin up a new server, redeploy the node with your license, and re-delegate. Make sure your wallet holding the licenses is secure.

***

#### How do I undelegate my licenses?

Go to the Hybrid Delegation Dashboard, find your active delegations, and select “Undelegate.” You can then delegate them to another node.

***

#### Who do I contact if something breaks?

* **NodeOps issues:** Use NodeOps’ live support or ticketing inside their console.
* **Hybrid delegation or reward issues:** Reach out in the Hybrid Telegram Community (<https://t.me/hybridcommunity>) or via official support channels.

***

#### Can you stake from multiple wallets holding NFT licenses?

You cannot stake from multiple wallets (holding NFT licenses) into the same operator address.

***

### 🛠 Troubleshooting

#### Do I need ETH on Arbitrum?

Yes. Make sure there is ETH on Arbitrum in your operator wallet address.\
If you’re using a NaaS provider, ensure a small amount of ETH is sent to that wallet. Without this, the node will be unable to respond to incoming challenges or heartbeats from the network.

#### I see “Action Required” on NodeOps

This means you’ve purchased and deployed but haven’t delegated your licenses yet. Copy your Operator Address and complete delegation on the Hybrid dashboard.

***

#### My node shows “Running” but no rewards?

Make sure you have actually delegated licenses to the node. Deployment alone does not start earning — it needs licenses delegated.

***

#### Wallet won’t connect?

* Ensure you’re on the right network (Arbitrum).
* Try clearing your browser cache or reconnecting via MetaMask, WalletConnect, or Coinbase Wallet.

***

#### Rewards aren’t updating?

Rewards update Monthly. If you see delays, wait a few minutes or refresh your dashboard. Persistent issues? Contact support.
