ARO Devnet

Welcome to the ARO Devnet! Watch this quick video guide to get started.

1. Plug It In​

In the Devnet, you can explore how Edge Nodes operate within the ARO Edge Cloud.

Choose your preferred option:

  • ARO Pod: A dedicated plug-and-play device optimized for home use, offering high uptime and efficient reward generation.
  • ARO Link: A Wi-Fi router with a built-in ARO client, allowing you to earn rewards while browsing.
  • ARO Client (coming soon): Install the ARO Software Image on your own device, such as a PC, workstation, or data center. Ideal for advanced users.

2. Install It​

Installing an Edge Node connects your device to the ARO Network (Edge Cloud). Follow these steps to set up and configure your node:

  1. Create an ARO Account on the ARO Devnet Dashboard. Registration is straightforward, and entering a Referral Code provides extra benefits.
  2. Choose to run a Hardware Node (ARO Pod or ARO Link). Software Nodes will be available later.

For detailed setup instructions, refer to this guide.

3. Start Your ARO Journey​

Congratulations! You’re ready to begin your journey as an Edge Node operator in the ARO Devnet.

What you gain from the Devnet:

  • Early Access: The Devnet is distinct from the Testnet and is not fully open for large-scale community testing. Joining early helps you become familiar with ARO’s functionality and prepares you for Testnet and Mainnet phases.
  • Feedback Matters: Your input is invaluable in improving the ARO Network, especially at this early stage.
  • Rewards: While real mining rewards are not available on Devnet, your participation will be recognized, and you’ll receive rewards when the Devnet phase concludes.
