Using BlockFabric, it is now easier and quicker than ever to get your nodes online! Please follow the steps below to a node on Block Fabric.
*For instructions on purchasing nodes through Connect, please click here.
*NOTE: BlockFabric is a 3rd-party partner, and is NOT part of Connect. If you have questions or issues regarding BlockFabric, please reach out to their support team at support@blockfabric.host.
If you already have a BlockFabric account, log in at https://app.blockfabric.host/login.
Sign in to web.connectunited.com and select the "Node Setup" option from the tab near the top of the page. From here, click the "Get Started" button.
You will be taken to the BlockFabric website. Select the "Sign up here" option to create an account and log in. Block Fabric is not included in Connect Auto Link. If you have never before visited BlockFabric, you will need to create a new account.
After creating an account and logging in, Select the "Start Hosting" button.
From the Node Network dropdown, select the brand of node you would like to host. Add the number of Smart Nodes and Lite Nodes you currently own for that brand. Please note that Lite Nodes are not currently sold. If you recently purchased your nodes, you should just select Smart Nodes.
Add as many nodes for this brand as you own. For example, you can add 3 Win Smart Nodes here, but a Galvan Smart Node would needs to be added separately.
Click Proceed to Checkout.
Enter your payment information and note the billing due dates. Select confirm payment in order to complete the transaction. Note, you'll only need to enter payment information for the first instance created.
Lastly, enter the email and password associated with the brand node you are adding. For example, if this was an instance for a Win node, you'd enter your Connect account email and login password. If you are adding a Rally Smart Node, you would enter your RLink account login email and password.
Hit Deploy. You will see your nodes under Deployments. To add additional nodes, click on Add Instances.
Congratulations! Your nodes are online! It may take up to one hour for hosted nodes to reflect as online in your Connect account. At that time, you can go back to web.connectunited.com and select My Nodes from your dashboard. You should see that your node is online!
