To create a node in Zelcore, you need to send the precise amount of native Flux required for a single transaction. Flux can be purchased from a range of exchanges, a full list is available here.
Details about the collateral amounts for different node levels, i.e. Cumulus, Nimbus, and Stratus, can be found on our website here.
If you hold Flux on another chain, such as Flux-BSC, you must convert it to native Flux before creating a node. Please refer to the wiki entry Converting Parallel Assets to Native Flux Claiming Node Parallel Assets for more information.
To obtain your receiving address in Zelcore and send your Flux, simply click on the Flux asset in your wallet and select "Receive".
To create your node, it is necessary to send the precise amount of native Flux required for your tier in a single transaction to your receiving address. The amount of Flux in your wallet is insignificant at this stage, as it is the transaction amount that generates the node.
Once your transaction has been mined, which typically takes about 2 minutes but can take up to 20 minutes, your node will appear in the Apps/FluxNodes section of Zelcore. However, before the node can be launched, it requires 100 confirmations, which usually takes about 3.5 hours.
Please be warned that we highly recommend that all users deposit their Flux collateral into any of the six primary wallets in Zelcore, namely Payments, Income, Mining, Investments, Retirement, and Scholarship. It is not recommended to use the alternative "Full Node" wallet, which should only be used by advanced users. If not used properly, the Full Node wallet can result in the loss of your coins.
