Learn how to use 0xScanner and run your own node
Overview
0xScanner is a decentralized network that monitors blockchain deployments in real-time to detect potentially malicious tokens. The system uses a combination of on-chain analysis, contract inspection, and behavioral heuristics to generate risk scores and reports.
Key Features
- Real-time monitoring of new token deployments
- Automated smart contract security analysis
- Liquidity and holder distribution verification
- Honeypot and rug pull detection
- Decentralized node network for distributed scanning
Scanning Methodology
Our scanning engine analyzes multiple on-chain and off-chain signals to produce a comprehensive risk assessment.
Analysis Categories
Contract Analysis
Examines smart contract code for known vulnerabilities, malicious patterns, and dangerous functions like hidden mints or ownership transfers.
Liquidity Verification
Checks if liquidity is locked, the lock duration, and whether the liquidity pool has sufficient depth to prevent manipulation.
Holder Distribution
Analyzes token distribution across wallets to identify concentration risks and potential for coordinated dumps.
Trading Behavior
Monitors initial trading patterns for signs of wash trading, honeypot mechanisms, or abnormal price manipulation.
Running a Node
Prerequisites
- NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU (recommended for Full Rewards mode)
- 500GB SSD storage
- 100 Mbps+ internet connection
- Linux or Windows operating system
Installation
1. Download and install the 0xScanner CLI:
2. Initialize your node:
3. Start the node with your wallet address:
Configuration
Edit the config.yaml file to customize your node settings, including RPC endpoints, scanning preferences, and reward wallet.
Staking & Rewards
Node operators can stake SCNR tokens to receive higher rewards and priority in the job queue.
How to Stake
- Acquire at least 100 SCNR tokens
- Connect your wallet to the dashboard
- Navigate to Node Operator settings
- Click "Stake SCNR" and confirm the transaction
Reward Calculation
Rewards are calculated based on:
- Number of successful scans completed
- Node uptime percentage
- Stake amount (100+ SCNR for full multiplier)
- Network demand and job priority
Note: Rewards are distributed daily for Full Rewards nodes and weekly for Free Miners. There is a 7-day cooldown period for unstaking.
Free Miner Mode
Free Miner mode allows anyone to participate in the network without staking SCNR tokens. This mode is ideal for those who want to contribute with available hardware without a financial commitment.
Benefits
- No stake required - start earning immediately
- Lower hardware requirements
- Great way to test the network before committing
- Still earn SCNR rewards (at 1x rate)
Limitations
- Lower reward multiplier (1x vs 2.5x)
- Standard job queue priority
- Weekly payouts instead of daily
- Community support tier
To run in Free Miner mode, use the --mode=free flag during initialization.
