Node Monitoring

The My Nodes dashboard provides real-time visibility into your registered nodes, their status, and verification history.

Accessing the Dashboard

Navigate to the FlameWire application and sign in to access your nodes:

My Nodes

Node Information

Each registered node is displayed as a card showing the following information:

FieldDescription
RegionGeographic location of your node: US (United States), EU (Europe), or AS (Asia)
StatusCurrent operational status of the node
Node URLThe WebSocket endpoint (ws:// or wss://) used for RPC connections
IP AddressThe public IP address of your node
HotkeyYour Bittensor hotkey address associated with the node
Peer IDUnique identifier for your node on the P2P network
CreatedDate when the node was registered on FlameWire
VerifiedTimestamp of when the Peer ID was last verified

Node Statuses

Your node can have one of the following statuses, each indicating its current operational state:

Healthy

Node is operating normally and passing all verification checks. This is the optimal status — your node is actively receiving RPC traffic and earning rewards.

Testing

Node is currently undergoing data integrity verification. FlameWire infrastructure is checking that your node returns correct blockchain data.

Benchmarking

Node performance is being measured. This includes measuring how many requests per second your node can serve within a comfort range, as well as latency measurements.

Suspect

Node has failed 1 data integrity check. This is a warning state — verify your node is fully synced and returning correct data.

Action Required

If your node shows Suspect status, check that it is fully synced and has complete archive data. Another failed check will escalate the status.

Unreachable

Node is not responding to health checks. Common causes include:

  • Node is offline or crashed
  • Firewall blocking incoming connections
  • Ports 9944 or 30333 not accessible
  • Network connectivity issues

Malicious

Node has failed 3 consecutive data integrity checks. This status indicates the node is returning incorrect or manipulated data and will not receive RPC requests.

Severe Penalty

Malicious nodes are excluded from receiving traffic. If your node is incorrectly flagged, ensure it has complete archive data and is fully synced before contacting support.

Compromised

This status is triggered when:

  • Node has changed its Peer ID unexpectedly, or
  • Node has not responded for more than 2 hours

A Peer ID change may indicate the node was reinstalled or tampered with.

Deregistered

The associated neuron was deregistered from the Bittensor network. This node is no longer part of the FlameWire subnet.

Verification Cycle

FlameWire continuously monitors registered nodes through automated verification cycles:

  • Health checks — Regular connectivity tests to ensure your node is reachable
  • Data integrity tests — Infrastructure queries historical blockchain data and compares responses
  • Performance benchmarks — Measures requests per second capacity and latency within a comfort range

The Verified timestamp on your node card shows when the Peer ID was last verified.

Stay Healthy

Maintain a fully synced archive node with stable network connectivity to keep your node in Healthy status and stay competitive in the network.
