A New Passive Income Opportunity: Running Web3 Nodes

It’s been said the future of the internet is Web 3.0 and some of the best passive income opportunities are helping to support the Web 3.0 infrastructure.

Even though Web 3.0 is still in its early stages, we are already seeing Web 3.0 nodes generate many thousands of dollars per month for their owners.

What is Web 3.0?

Web 3.0 is the decentralized version of the Web. While it is still early in its development, Web 3.0 has the potential to revolutionize the internet as we know it. It’s the “next big thing” in crypto as Metaverse is still finding its applications and NFTs are finding out how to evolve.

The basic principle underlying Web 3.0 is the decentralization of the internet and by running a node, you can help with this decentralization.

Web 3.0 Nodes

There are many ways to participate in helping the development of Web 3.0 and a Web 3.0 node provides this function through many mechanisms, such as providing data streaming, data computation, file storage, a decentralized framework and more.

To run a node typically requires the setup and configuration of a cloud computer as well as staking collateral (a certain amount of the project’s token).

3 Web 3.0 Nodes for Passive Income

Flux (FLUX) #159

Website | Coinmarketcap On 86,088 watchlists

Flux is the new generation of scalable decentralized cloud infrastructure. The Flux ecosystem is a fully-operational suite of decentralized computing services and blockchain-as-a-service solutions which offer an interoperable, decentralized, AWS-like development environment with more than 2,200 online nodes.

Flux has been highly successful in the last few years and recently announced new node tiers, offering more affordable options.

A stratus node earns $2,400/mo, a Nimbus node earns $646/mo and a Cumulus node earns $274/mo. The up-to-date earnings can be found here.

The entry cost for a Cumulus node is around $1,500 and ROI is around 18% per annum. The ROI for Stratus is around 16% per annum, at the time of writing. Rewards are contingent on the number of nodes and the value of the rewards are determined by the market price of FLUX. Rewards also can be accumulated and used to purchase additional nodes which is a popular method to compound earnings.

Earnings per (Stratus) node:

$2,400 per month (30% block reward)

Price of (Stratus) Node:

$60,400 (40K FLUX x $1.51)

Two years ago, FLUX was trading at $0.02 and a Stratus node (which at that time required 100,000 FLUX) could have been purchased for $2,000.

Currently, the purchase price for a FLUX node is relatively expensive (when compared to a year ago). However, this is a good example of the long-term benefits available when getting in early with Nodes. That said, there is still a lot of room for growth in this project.

Alephi.Im Network (ALEPHI) #508

Website | Coinmarketcap On 27,679 watchlists

Aleph.Im is focused on decentralized apps and protocols. This project offers decentralized databases (including file storage), computation, and a decentralized identification (DID) framework. An easy way to think of Aleph.Im is a decentralized version of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

In addition to the hardware and configuration, a Alephi.Im node requires a minimum of 200K ALEPH and on average each node generates about 5,400 ALEPH. More information about the nodes, revenue share and dashboard can be found here.

Currently, Alephi.Im is trading at some of the lowest market prices this project has ever seen.

Earnings per node:

$1,591 per month (5487.80 ALEPH x $0.29)

Price of Node:

$58,000 (200K ALEPH x $0.29)

Pocket Network (POKT) #2997

Website | Coinmarketcap On 9,479 watchlists

Pocket Network is a web3 infrastructure middleware protocol that provides millions of daily RPC requests across a decentralized network, which includes Solana, Avalanche, Binance Smart chain, Polygon and more.

In addition to the hardware and configuration, a Pocket node requires a minimum of 15,000 POKT and on average each node generated between 1,950–3,000 POKT per month.

Currently, POKT is trading at some of the lowest market prices this project has ever seen.

Earnings per node:

$2,340 (up to) per month (1,950- 3,000 POKT x $0.78)

Price of Node:

$11,700 (15,000 POKT x $0.78)

Should you invest in a Web 3.0 Node?

While this is not intended to be financial advice, Web 3.0 is set to be the future of the internet and these projects are setting the foundation for Web 3.0 infrastructure. This could be compared to the early days of the internet.

As the Web 3.0 space grows and with it the need for infrastructure to support this growth, these projects will likely see much greater adoption in the upcoming years.

What is the goal of this portfolio?

The “Three Token Pillars” portfolio is democratically proportioned between the Three Pillars of the Token Economy & Interchain:

CryptoCurreny – Security Tokens (STO) – Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

With this portfolio, we will identify and take advantage of the opportunities within the Three
Pillars of ReadySetCrypto. We aim to Capitalise on the collective knowledge and experience of the RSC
community & build model portfolios containing the premier companies and projects
in the industry and manage risk allocation suitable for as many people as
possible.

The Second Phase of the RSC Community Portfolio V3 was to give us a general idea of the weightings people desire in each of the three pillars and also member’s risk tolerance. The Third Phase of the RSC Community Portfolio V3 has us closing in on a finalized portfolio allocation before we consolidated onto the highest quality projects.

The ReadySetCrypto "Top Ten Crypto" Community Portfolio (V4)

What is the goal of this portfolio? 

The “Top Ten Crypto” portfolio is a democratically proportioned portfolio balanced based on votes from members of the RSC community as to what they believe are the top 10 projects by potential.
This portfolio should be much more useful given the ever-changing market dynamics. In short, you rank the projects you believe deserve a spot in the top 10. It should represent a portfolio and rank that you believe will stand the test of time. Once we have a good cross-section, we can study and make an assessment as to where we see value and perhaps where some diamonds in the rough opportunities exist. In a perfect world, we will end up with a Pareto-style distribution that describes the largest value capture in the market.
To give an update on the position, each one listed in low to high relative risk:
SoV/money == BTC, DCR
Platforms == ETH, XTZ
Private Money == XMR / ZEC / ZEN
DeFi == MKR / SNX and stablecoins
It is the most realistic way for us to distill the entirety of what we have learned (and that includes the RSC community opinion). We have an array of articles that have gradually picked off one by one different projects, some of which end up being many thousands of words to come to this conclusion. It is not capitulation because we all remain in the market. It is simply a consolidation of quality. We seek the cream of the crop as the milk turns sour on aggregate.
