Fuel Node

Fuel is an operating system purpose-built for Ethereum rollups, designed to help developers build decentralized economies at scale.

The Fuel network's beta testnets operates on a Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism. Here's a brief overview:

Validators: In PoA, there are specific entities, validators, who are given the responsibility to create new blocks and validate transactions. Unlike other consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, PoA validators are selected based on their reputation within the network.

Benefits of PoA: PoA offers faster transaction times and requires less computational power, making it energy-efficient. The network's security and integrity are maintained by the trustworthiness of the selected validators.

Running your Fuel Testnet Node on Nodeshark

Fuel nodes are running locally, connected to the Sepolia testnet via P2P.
Deploying a Fuel Node generates a P2P private key. Once your Fuel Node is deployed, you will receive this private key.
