Trading Nodes on StarDesk

StarDesk is proud to offer you an innovative way to gain liquidity for your staked tokens. While it takes 21-days to unstake your nodes, you can cash out your tokens attached to your nodes via node transfers. Here we explain how this all works:

C0D3R Nodes

Selling Nodes

  • Starting 1/19/2022, nodes sales are subject to additional fees as imposed by the node runners. This is a price to pay for their efforts (on boarding new customers, restarting insurance policies, etc.), as well as the convenience of what amounts to "instant unstaking" instead of waiting 21 days. Please see this page for current rates.
  • Your account must be paid off for this current month. If not, you will have to pay your bill for the month to be able to sell nodes. Please don't put your nodes up for sale if you have balance due. Paying it may take some time, making the buyer wait for no good reason.
  • Make sure your account is eligible to transfer nodes/POKT. Most accounts are. But if you are a part of special POKT holding agreement (e.g. PNI employee), you cannot transfer nodes. Please check with admin@c0d3r.org to verify that's the case.
  • C0D3R has a 10-node minimum for TopTier accounts. If you are a TopTier member, and you sell your nodes, and subsequently go under the 10-node minimum, you will lose your TopTier status and your account will be converted to RewardsShare account. Please contact C0D3R for any questions or concerns.
  • You are selling your nodes with what they've got on them. If there is unstaked POKT that you don't want to transfer, you need to setup an offline wallet and transfer the funds to your account first and verify that they've been sent to your account. Don't put your nodes up for sale if you have excess unstaked balance on them. C0D3R, by default, will NOT drain your nodes' unstaked balance because as far as they are concerned, unstaked balance could be a part of the deal.
  • Before C0D3R can transfer your nodes to the buyer, they will need your authorization. Please authorize the sale & transfer of the nodes by sending an email to admin@c0d3r.org with StarDesk post ID and addresses of the nodes you want to transfer. Please note: What they need is NOT the names of the nodes (val1234) but POKT addresses (a1b2c3d4..)
  • Once the authorization is sent, node transfer can happen anytime. DO NOT authorize if the node is not ready for transfer (e.g. there are funds you want to claim).
  • Your funds will be released after buyer can confirm the amounts. It can take a day or two because of different timezones.

Buying Nodes

  • Have your C0D3R account ready.
  • All new accounts come as regular account by default. Not TopTier. Not Revenue Share. These are the features of the account, not the nodes. Please contact admin@c0d3r.org if you want to be a TopTier or Revenue Share account.
  • For nodes bought before Feb 1st 2022, you will be responsible for the remainder of the January. Nodes bought after Feb 1st 2022 will have their nodes paid (by the seller, before the transfer) until the end of the month.
  • Your nodes will be adjusted to your account's tier within a few days by automated processes. For example, if you are TopTier customer, but received a regular node, C0D3R automation will update it accordingly.
  • Node deals often take longer than POKT deals, because seller may have certain tasks to do before C0D3R can proceed with the transfer (e.g. see "Selling Nodes" section above). Please be patient.
  • Your nodes will come with no session/relay history. They will seem like they haven't done anything. That is by design not to confuse your metrics.
  • Please verify all the balance on your nodes upon receipt of your nodes. StarDesk brokers will release funds to the seller ONLY after your confirmation or 72 hours after the transfer (whichever comes first).
