Buying Nodes in Connect – Connect

If you are a first time purchaser, there are a few steps to buy nodes in Connect. But don't worry, we're happy to help!

Once you've created your Connect account and set up your Connect wallet, you're ready to start buying nodes. Your first step is to decide what nodes you'd like to own. There are several nodes brands, and two node types. Each brand offers Smart Nodes and Lite Nodes. Smart nodes are full node licenses that earn maximum rewards by supporting the network. Lite Nodes are limited licenses that earn limited rewards.

Go to Buy Nodes to view nodes and pricing offered. Once you've decided what nodes you'll buy, you'll need to complete a couple of tasks before you can place the order.

Step 1: Add ETH to your Connect wallet.

Click on My Connect, My Wallet and then the ETH balance.

Note: Please make sure you have the correct Recovery Phrase and Encryption Passcode for your Connect wallet BEFORE you add funds. Your Encryption Passcode will be required to complete your order.

Tap Receive

Scan the QR Code or Copy the wallet address displayed (covered in image for security). Paste the receiving address you copied into the appropriate field in the outside wallet (such as Coinbase, etc.) from which you are sending.

Send enough ETH to your receiving address to account for each node you want to purchase, and include a few dollars to cover the Gas Fee. Hint: you can see the estimated Gas Fee by adding the nodes you want to buy to your Connect shopping cart even before you add ETH.

Step 2: Create and link your brand accounts

Before adding any nodes to your Connect order, first visit the site of each brand for which you are purchasing a node. Create an account and setup a brand wallet. Win is the Connect brand, your Connect account and wallet are also your Win account and wallet, no additional site to visit.

Create your brand account, and follow all steps to create a brand wallet while you are there.

IMPORTANT: You MUST have a wallet for each node brand you own. Rewards are distributed to each brand wallet. If you do not have a wallet set up, you will not receive your rewards for that brand, and they cannot be replaced or backdated. For example, if you buy Element nodes from Connect, you must have an Element account with an Element wallet to receive Element rewards.

Take careful notes of emails, passwords, Recovery Phrase, etc. for each brand and store somewhere safe.

Step 3: Link you brand accounts to your Connect account.

Go back to connectunited.com and navigate to My Connect. Tap the User Menu at the top right (account name) and select Account Settings.

Select Linked Accounts, and the brand you are linking. Enter the email associated with the brand you are linking, and the login password for the brand you are linking. In the example below you would enter the Element-associated email and the Element login password.

Successfully linked accounts will appear like this:

Once you've linked an account for each brand that you'll be buying, you're ready to place your order!

Step 4: Complete your shopping cart transaction

Once again, click on Buy Nodes. Select the products and quantities that you want to purchase. Your subtotal, Estimated Gas Fee and Transaction Total are displayed above your available ETH. If you need more ETH just tap on Add More ETH. When you are satisfied with your selections, click Preview Order.

Your pricing will be locked in place for one hour. Each brand will require you to fill multiple check boxes and add multiple initials and signatures. Take your time to read through the print for each node. For example, the images below are concerning only Element. If you are purchasing nodes from multiple brands you will be required to go through these actions multiple times.

Review your order and enter your Connect wallet Encryption Passcode. This is the Encryption Passcode that you set when you completed your Connect wallet setup. Use your Connect Encryption code no matter the node brand you are buying. It make take several minutes for your order to complete after clicking Submit Order.
