Introduction

Fenine Network provides infrastructure options for organizations and developers who want to run their own nodes. Unlike traditional blockchain networks, Fenine operates with a contract-layer validator system, meaning validators are managed through smart contracts rather than requiring node operators to run validator software.
Network Info:
  • Chain ID: 5881
  • Block Time: 3 seconds
  • Consensus: Fenine PoA (Proof-of-Authority)
  • EVM Compatible: Yes (London hardfork)

Node Types

Fenine offers three types of node infrastructure:

Non-Validator Nodes

Monitor network status and serve RPC requests

RPC Providers

Professionally hosted endpoints with enterprise features

Private Nodes

Closed enterprise nodes for private application integration

1. Non-Validator Nodes

Purpose: Infrastructure for monitoring network status and serving RPC requests to applications. Use Cases:
  • dApp backend infrastructure
  • Development and testing environments
  • Network monitoring and analytics
  • Block explorer backends
  • Independent data verification
Key Features:
  • Full blockchain synchronization
  • RPC endpoint for Web3 applications
  • WebSocket support for real-time events
  • Archive mode for historical queries
  • No staking requirement
Perfect for: Developers, dApps, explorers, analytics platforms

2. RPC Providers

Purpose: Professionally hosted RPC endpoints with enterprise-grade features. Use Cases:
  • Production dApp infrastructure
  • High-availability applications
  • Multi-region deployments
  • Load-balanced services
  • SLA requirements
Key Features:
  • 99.9% uptime SLA
  • Global CDN distribution

  • Enterprise Plans: Contact enterprise@fene.network
Perfect for: Production apps, enterprises, high-traffic dApps

3. Private Nodes

Purpose: Closed enterprise infrastructure for private application integration on Fenine Network. Use Cases:
  • Enterprise blockchain integration
  • Regulated industry compliance
  • Private transaction relay
  • Internal monitoring systems
  • Custom business logic
Key Features:

  • White-glove onboarding
Requirements:
  • Enterprise agreement
  • Minimum infrastructure commitment
  • Security audit compliance
  • Technical operations team
Perfect for: Financial institutions, regulated businesses, large enterprises

Validator System

Important: Fenine uses contract-layer validators, not node-layer validators.Validators are managed entirely through the FenineSystem smart contract. To become a validator:
  1. Stake 10,000 FEN tokens via smart contract
  2. Register validator parameters on-chain
  3. The protocol automatically includes you in block production
You do NOT need to run special validator node software. Block signing happens through the consensus layer independently of node operation.
