Run Your Own Bitcoin Node
Don't trust. Verify. Running a Bitcoin node gives you complete sovereignty over your financial transactions. No middlemen, no censorship, no permission needed.
Why Running a Node Matters
True Sovereignty
Don't trust block explorers or third-party services. Verify every transaction yourself. Your node, your rules, your truth.
Maximum Privacy
Broadcasting transactions through your own node prevents IP address leaks. No one knows your wallet balance or transaction history.
Network Strength
Every node strengthens Bitcoin's decentralization. More nodes = harder to attack. You become part of the most resilient network in history.
Enforce Consensus
Your node validates every block and transaction against Bitcoin's rules. Reject invalid blocks. Protect the protocol.
Business Critical
Enterprises accepting Bitcoin need nodes for reliable payment verification, instant confirmations, and operational independence.
Support Lightning
Lightning Network requires Bitcoin nodes for channel management and routing. Run a node, run Lightning, enable instant payments.

Schedule ConsultationFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need technical knowledge to run a node?
Not anymore. Pre-built solutions like Umbrel and Start9 make it as easy as plugging in a device. If you can follow a YouTube tutorial, you can run a node.
How much does it cost?
Initial hardware: $200-500 for basic setup. Monthly costs: ~$10-20 for electricity and internet. Enterprise setups vary based on requirements.
How long does initial sync take?
3-7 days typically, depending on your hardware and internet speed. The node downloads and verifies every Bitcoin transaction since 2009 (~600GB).
Can I earn Bitcoin by running a node?
Running a Bitcoin Core node doesn't earn rewards—that's mining. However, Lightning routing nodes can earn small fees. The real value is sovereignty.
What's the difference between a node and mining?
Nodes verify transactions and enforce Bitcoin's rules. Mining creates new blocks and secures the network (requires specialized hardware). Everyone should run a node.
Do businesses need their own nodes?
Yes, if accepting Bitcoin payments or holding significant treasury amounts. Running your own node eliminates third-party dependencies and ensures reliable verification.
