VaporFi is a decentralized protocol that allows investors to earn 1% interest a day, which they can compound to earn more! It is built on the Avalanche (AVAX) network.
If you are wanting to start your own node then follow the following guideline. There are a few requirements that you will need to get yourself a new VaporFi Node.
The first thing that you will need to do is to set up a cryptocurrency wallet if you don't already have 1. You can follow this guideline to setting up MetaMask Wallet or set up a Wallet Connect account.
