# Running or Delegating a Node

Delegating a node to be run in the 0xVM network is free and requires no technical knowledge. It can be done with one click from inside the 0xVM node management web portal. 

We recommend that all users, unless they have good reason not to, delegate their nodes to be run by us. 

Here is how you delegate a node to be run in 0xVM:

First, log into the node management portal

Second, click “My nodes”. Under “Non-running nodes”, click “Delegate”. After the deployment of your nodes has been completed, the nodes will start earning rewards on your behalf. Note that deploying a node may take up to 3 hours to complete.

### Running a node on your own

Detailed instructions for how to deploy and run a node on your own infrastructure will be provided at a later date.
