Proxy Provider Guide

From zero to earning SPACE in roughly 10 minutes — once your stake is in place.

You'll do six things, in order. Each links to a more detailed guide if you need it.

1. Check prerequisites — supported OS, open port 9090 (or a tunnel), staked SPACE, ~1 CTC for gas.

2. Download & install — pick the GUI installer for your operating system, or the CLI binary for headless servers.

3. Run first-time setup — generate or import your identity key, set your staking address, choose a network mode.

4. Click Start — your node enters qualifying, then moves to earning after the first review period.

5. Watch your earnings — the Earnings screen tallies SPACE owed for every request you serve.

6. Claim — once you have a few receipts, hit Claim All Outstanding to settle them on-chain. Your SPACE arrives in your collection wallet.

What you'll see

The status badge

• qualifying — first 1–2 review periods after install. The network is verifying your reliability.

• earning — you're approved and earning SPACE on every request routed through you.

• unstaked — your stake is below the minimum. Add SPACE in the staking dApp.

• inactive — your node is offline or the wallet is draining.

The Earnings screen

Every request you serve produces a small receipt. The Earnings screen shows them grouped:

• Claimable — receipts ready to settle on-chain.

• Pending signing — receipts the gateway hasn't yet acknowledged.

• Needs attention — receipts that hit a transient error and will be retried.

• Locked — receipts that failed permanently and won't be retried.

• History — receipts already claimed.

The single most important thing

Top up your Identity wallet with CTC

The app generates an Identity wallet on first launch. That wallet — not your staking wallet — submits your claim transactions to Creditcoin. It needs ~1 CTC for gas. Without CTC there, every claim will fail with insufficient funds. The Earnings screen shows the Identity wallet address with a copy button. Send a small amount of CTC to it before your first claim.
