Community Node

Stake to the Swift Swap Community Node

A Theta Edge Node (and soon, a Guardian) running 24/7 on US cloud hardware โ€” open for anyone to stake TFUEL or THETA and earn network rewards. Non-custodial: the Theta protocol holds your stake, not us. Guarded by SyCrow, our mascot with TFUEL-fire eyes. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Node wallet: 0x1C5A...35f5 · seed stake and every delegation below it is verifiable on-chain.

The 10% operator split is set on-chain โ€” verified by tx 0xfdd3d5e7...e5707. Every number here is also verifiable on the Theta explorer.

Seed stake proof: 10,000 TFUEL deposited by the operator โ€” 0xb0fda187...f0c8 (Sep 4, 2026 ยท finalized ยท block 35,833,243).

Stake totals are pulled live from the Theta ledger โ€” block #โ€”, updated when you loaded this page. When the community stakes, this number moves.

Ready to stake to our node?

Two clicks. Copy our Holder Summary, open the official Theta web wallet, deposit your TFUEL to the node. Your keys never leave your wallet โ€” we never touch your funds.

How It Works

Staking without giving up your keys

1

The node runs 24/7

We run the Swift Swap node on enterprise cloud hardware with monitoring and auto-restart. It delivers video and AI compute for the Theta network around the clock โ€” no home PC, no downtime drama.

2

You stake from your own wallet

You deposit your stake directly from your Theta wallet to the node's holder summary. The Theta protocol โ€” not Swift Swap โ€” holds your stake. You can unstake anytime (edge stakes take ~60 hours to process).

3

Rewards flow to you

Staking rewards accrue automatically to your wallet. Swift Swap keeps a small operator split for running the infrastructure โ€” the exact percentage is always displayed above, set in advance, never changed silently.

Ways to Stake

Two nodes, one mission

Live Now
TFUEL · EDGE NODE

Stake TFUEL

Power Theta's video delivery and AI compute network. Our Edge Node runs on cloud hardware with uptime monitoring.

  • Minimum stake: 10,000 TFUEL
  • Maximum per node: 500,000 TFUEL
  • Unstake anytime โ€” ~60h processing
  • Rewards paid to your wallet
Stake with your Theta wallet
Phase 2
THETA · GUARDIAN NODE

Stake THETA

Guardians validate the Theta blockchain. Our Guardian node is launching in phase two โ€” hardware with the storage the ledger needs is being provisioned.

  • Minimum stake: 1,000 THETA
  • Helps secure the Theta blockchain

How To Stake

Four steps, keys stay yours

1

Open your Theta wallet

Go to the official Theta web wallet at wallet.thetatoken.org (or the Theta mobile app) and unlock the wallet holding the TFUEL you want to stake. Your keys never leave your device.

2

Choose Edge Node staking

Open the Edge Node Staking section and start a stake deposit. The wallet will ask for the node's Holder Summary โ€” that's the string that identifies our node on the network.

3

Paste our Holder Summary

Copy the summary below (the button does it for you) and paste it exactly as-is. Minimum stake is 10,000 TFUEL; you can stake up to 500,000 per node.

4

Confirm and earn

Confirm the deposit in your wallet. From that moment your TFUEL earns network rewards, paid to your wallet, with a 10% operator split to Swift Swap. Unstake anytime (~60h processing).

Why Trust Us

Built for the community, accountable on-chain

Non-custodial, period

Your stake is held by the Theta protocol, never by Swift Swap. We can't touch your tokens โ€” we don't even have your keys. Your keys, your wallet.

Everything on-chain

Stakes, rewards, and the operator split are all visible on the Theta explorer. Check our numbers yourself โ€” never take our word for it.

Split set in advance

The operator reward split is configured on the node and displayed on this page. It only changes with a public announcement โ€” and you can always unstake.

Real infrastructure

US cloud servers, keystore backups, auto-restart, and public status on this page. If we ever have an incident, you'll see it here โ€” not buried.

Staking supports the ecosystem

Operator fees fund the Swift Swap explorer and wallet โ€” free tools for the whole Theta community. Staking with us builds the ecosystem, not just our pocket.

Long-Term Vision

From cloud rack to home rack

Today โ€” cloud hardware

The Swift Swap node runs on a prepaid US cloud server: reliable, and monitored 24/7. It's the right launch platform โ€” uptime first, commitment proven.

Next โ€” a Guardian joins

Phase 2 adds a Theta Guardian node on dedicated hardware โ€” more staking options, more network security contributed, same non-custodial rules. 1,000 THETA minimum, open to the community.

The destination โ€” a Swift Swap home server

The long-term goal: our own always-on machine, purpose-built at home, running multiple Theta nodes under one roof โ€” edge, Guardian, and beyond. Lower costs, full control, and every node still verifiable on-chain. We'll build it in public, step by step, the same way we built this one.

Every step of this roadmap gets documented in our build logs โ€” the community watches us build in public, and every step of the infrastructure journey gets documented.

FAQ

Straight answers

Is my stake custodial?

No. When you stake, your tokens are held by the Theta protocol itself โ€” that's how Theta staking works. Swift Swap never has access to your tokens or your private keys. You interact with the protocol directly from your own wallet.

What's the operator cut?

10% โ€” set on the node and already live on-chain (see the status panel above for the tx). It's set on the node itself, so we can't quietly change it without it showing.

What happens if your server dies?

The node auto-restarts and we get alerts. Even in the worst case, your stake is never on our server โ€” it lives on the Theta network. A server problem costs uptime, never your tokens.

When can I unstake?

Anytime. Edge node stakes take roughly 60 hours to process after withdrawal is initiated. No lockups, no penalties, no waiting on us.

Why stake with you instead of a big pool?

Fair question. Big pools are fine โ€” but a community node keeps the Theta network decentralized, and your stake here also funds free ecosystem tooling (the Swift Swap explorer and wallet). Same rewards mechanics, more ecosystem value per TFUEL.
