how to run a flop devnet node over 4.4b flop tokens allocated for the airdrop the play: pick a role > prove it on devnet > be live on testnet day 1 > first steps - go to: docs.flop.network/docs/offic… - bookmark the only official links - go to: faucet.flop.network - get devnet flop - go to: explorer.devnet.flop.network - check that your node shows up later - install the sdk: npm i @flop-labs/sdk > route 1: agent (cheapest) - go to: explorer.devnet.flop.network… - start with the read only prompt, then one small inference request until it shows settled - go to: api.flop.network/v1/models - see which models you can call - learn how sessions open and settle now, so on testnet you're buying real compute from day 1 > route 2: gpu miner - you need a 16gb+ vram gpu, rented is fine - check the rental allows docker inside it before you pay - one builder runs devnet on a rented rtx 5060 ti from ~$0.20/hr - go to: docs.flop.network/docs/run-m… - prepare the node > get sponsored > calibrate - verify registration and calibration, public paid sessions aren't open yet > route 3: validator - 8 cores, 32gb ram, 4tb nvme, docker, node 24, pnpm - no gpu needed - go to: docs.flop.network/docs/run-v… - current devnet is admin assisted: ask for an intro in public issue #10 on github.com/flop-labs - testnet validator stake is sponsored, nothing to buy > what testnet will score - validators: uptime, block production, accuracy, latency and geographic spread over ~90 days - forced upgrades with short deadlines, missing one hurts your rank - miners: verified compute only, more compute = bigger share - flop says earlier testnet participation = bigger share of the low supply months > what not to do - don't buy any "flop" token, there is no token yet, anything trading is a scam - don't join a flop discord or telegram, there isn't one - don't sign up for a 12 month gpu lease for devnet, it earns nothing - don't farm job counts, they carry no weight - don't just stop docker when you're done, terminate the gpu instance or billing keeps running > the catch - devnet earns $0 and nothing carries over, testnet starts from zero - testnet date is still not announced - validator grants stay locked until the first halving, roughly 2 years out - miner grants unlock 25% at genesis, the rest as you earn on mainnet - all allocation rules are proposed, recheck when testnet launches - mainnet and tge are targeted for q1 2027 > the proposed airdrop pool - 1.2b flop to miners, scored on verified compute served - 1.2m flop each to the top 1,000 testnet validators - agents get their own pool, earned by buying compute - job count, active days and wallet balance carry no weight for miners, only verified compute set up on devnet now, earn on testnet. the people who show up on day 1 get the low supply months. follow me, i'll post the moment testnet goes live, devnet is just trials, don't waste big money we will go hard hard on testnet bookmark this before testnet opens
