# SN Operator Guide Welcome to the XEQM (XEQMLabs) Mainnet. This guide walks you through setting up and registering a Service Node on the XEQM mainnet. Service Nodes are the backbone of the network — they secure the chain via Pulse consensus, process Blink transactions, and earn block rewards (8.25 XEQM per block) for their contribution. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
