We're thrilled to share that nearly a month ago, NodeOps began offering support for HYCHAIN and its infrastructure, significantly streamlining the overall management and operation of their nodes. As a leading node-as-a-service provider, we are committed to providing one-click node deployment through the NodeOps Console, making it quick and easy for you to run HYCHAIN Guardian Nodes.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the benefits of the NodeOps X HYCHAIN partnership for users. To begin, let us introduce NodeOps and HyCHAIN individually.
NodeOps: Streamlining Node Operations
NodeOps transforms Web3 development through its AI-driven dApp, which aims to simplify the journey for developers and Node Operators. By streamlining complex infrastructure and development tasks, we allow users to focus on building applications while earning on-chain rewards.
At NodeOps, simplicity has always been our priority. The whole idea of our platform is to make it effortless for developers to ask questions, experiment with code snippets, and build apps without any unnecessary complications. Additionally, we offer our key features, let's take a look at them.
Here's what NodeOps offers:
Node-as-a-Service: NodeOps offers a streamlined, single-script solution for automated deployment through node-as-a-service, easing node management, maintenance, and configuration.
AI-Powered Playground: Experiment with code snippets and access protocol-related information using our AI-powered playground for quick testing and exploration.
Containerized Infrastructure Setup: With our containerized infrastructure setup, developers can work on dApp development worry-free. We handle all the technical details so you can concentrate on your core business logic from the start.
Monitoring Tools for Codebases: Receive alerts for vulnerabilities in your codebase to ensure the security of your applications.
Preset Templates: Access curated templates, scripts, and FAQs to help your development process with optimized resources.
On-Chain Incentivization: Earn rewards for building, testing, and submitting templates through our on-chain incentivization mechanism, creating a sustainable value capture engine for developers.
HYCHAIN: Simplifying Web3 Gaming
HYCHAIN, a blockchain , and a suite of web3 infrastructure suite were designed to remove onboarding hurdles and technical complexities for web3 games, thereby facilitating broad adoption.
HYCHAIN is poised to address critical challenges for partner games:
Effortless Player Onboarding & Account Management: HYCHAIN offers self-custodial accounts accessible via email or popular social logins for streamlined asset management and transfer across games. One account serves all HYCHAIN games for seamless accessibility and enhanced player engagement.
Gas-Free Gaming Experience: HYCHAIN Foundation offers a cost-free gaming environment by absorbing all transaction fees using a gasless relayer network. The platform also has anti-spam and anti-abuse measures to expand the player base without any financial barriers.
Developer-Friendly Games API: HYCHAIN's Games API empowers developers to swiftly launch NFTs, in-game currencies, and payment options like subscriptions. It allows trading via $USDC/$TOPIA or game-specific tokens and seamlessly integrates cash on-ramps, significantly reducing development complexities and time investment.
Wide-Ranging Games Distribution: Leveraging an extensive network of Key Opinion Leaders spanning both Web3 and traditional gaming spheres, HYCHAIN maximizes game visibility and user attraction.
Scalable Infrastructure: Addressing scalability concerns, HYCHAIN offers an L3 solution tailored for high-growth games. This facilitates a smooth transition from L2, enhancing throughput and providing uninterrupted gameplay.
What are HYCHAIN Guardian Nodes?
HYCHAIN utilizes a guardian node system as an extra layer to uphold the network's strength and precision. These guardian nodes help in supervising the network's activities. Their primary duty is to act as sentinels - continuously monitoring and validating that HYCHAIN operates as intended.
Guardian Nodes also play a vital role in detecting and resolving any inconsistencies in the posted state, contributing substantially to the network's overall health and stability.
NodeOps X HYCHAIN - simplifies running Guardian Nodes
The HYCHAIN and NodeOps partnership simplifies the process of running HYCHAIN guardian nodes, which has been a concern for the community due to its complexity. By working together, they're going to offer users a ton of perks, making the whole experience smoother and more rewarding. Here's a breakdown of what this partnership will entail.
Zero Gas Fees
NodeOps covers gas fees incurred during transactions, eliminating any additional financial burden for users. In other words - users get a seamless experience and are not exposed to unexpected costs.
Comprehensive Maintenance and Support
NodeOps ensures optimal node performance through regular maintenance, efficient node operations, timely upgrades, and continuous monitoring. This behind-the-scenes effort contributes to stable and reliable service, zero downtime, and maximizing potential rewards.
Higher Availability for Higher Rewards
NodeOps is designed to achieve zero downtime. This directly impacts the rewards users can earn, as the rewards are tied to the amount of uptime. This setup encourages users to maintain a consistent and reliable node operation.
Enhanced Security and Scalability
NodeOps ensures that users are not exposed to private keys, mitigating potential risks. This approach prioritizes security, providing a more scalable and reliable service for users.
Effortless Setup
After purchasing node keys, HYCHAIN guardian nodes can be set up in less than 3 minutes, requiring zero setup efforts. This streamlined process makes it easy for users to start running their nodes quickly without any technical hurdles.
How to Run a Hychain Guardian Node in a one-click powered by NodeOps
Before running a guardian node, you'll need a Node Key, which can be purchased here. As HYCHAIN's official node infrastructure partner, use code "nodeops" to get an extra discount on your Node Key purchase. Additionally, you'll need a Metamask Wallet.
To set up your Guardian Node, follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to NodeOPS Console.
Step 2: Head to the "Deploy Node" section, then scroll until you locate HYCHAIN.

Step 5: Subscribe by selecting the duration and proceed with payment.
Step 6: After a successful payment, you'll be redirected to the Dashboard. Look for the "Action Required" section. Click on "Delegate" to assign a Guardian Operator for your keys. You'll be redirected to delegate.xyz, which will handle the delegation process.
Action required:
After completing the delegation process, navigate to the NodeOps Dashboard. Wait for 10-30 seconds, and your guardian nodes will be up and running. You'll be able to view the Node Info along with the respective logs for your nodes.
