Desktop Node Download

Run a SMART storage node on Windows

Download the desktop build, connect your wallet inside the app, choose storage, and let the node software register itself with SMART Open Network.

What the node does

The desktop client registers your node, stores your configured storage capacity, submits proof events, and syncs storage manifests back to the SMART API.

How storage becomes active

Storage is activated from the node software itself. After install, the app sends node registration to /api/node/register and storage manifests to /api/storage/manifest.

Current builds

Windows installers are live now from this page. macOS, Linux, and Android download buttons can be added later once those builds are uploaded.

Getting started

Step 1

Install

Download the EXE or MSI and install the desktop node.

Step 2

Open Wallet

Create or unlock the wallet inside the node client.

Step 3

Set Storage

Choose your storage amount or storage folder in the node software.

Step 4

Go Live

The client registers the node and keeps the storage status updated automatically.

Backend endpoints now expected by the node

POST /api/node/register registers the desktop node and stores wallet, platform, version, and storage size.

POST /api/storage/manifest marks storage active when the app submits file manifests.

POST /api/node/proof records proof submissions from the running node.

GET /api/node/stats returns current network-wide active node totals.

GET /api/node/status?nodeId=... returns one node's online and storage status.
