Hosted Nodes User Guide

Sybil Technologies historically ran a Hyperware hosting service for users who did not want to run a node themselves. However, as of May 2026 that service has been shut down. Users can claim their node archives and transfer onchain ownership by navigating to hosted.hyperware.ai and logging in as normal.

Tranferring onchain ownership

Hyperware nodes are NFTs. Hosted nodes are owned onchain by the hosting service for user convenience. To take control of a hosted node, log in, connect a wallet, and click Transfer Ownership. This will send the node NFT from the hosting service wallet to the connected wallet.

Downloading node archive

After logging in, .tar.gz archives are available for download.

A .tar.gz file is like a .zip file. You can extract it with the following programs (amongst others): OS | Program ------- | ------- Windows | 7-zip macOS | Finder, built-in Linux | tar zxf or built-in File explorer

To run the node, first Reset Password & Networking Info. The node must be owned by a connected wallet: see Transferring onchain ownership for how to transfer the node onchain.
