> **Note:** The same command is used regardless of whether your chain is set to Testnet or Mainnet (as configured in `~/visor.json`).

### Mainnet Considerations

When running a non-validator on Mainnet, you must configure at least one seed peer in `~/override_gossip_config.json`. Refer to the [Mainnet Non-Validator Seed Peers](#mainnet-non-validator-seed-peers) section for details and a list of available peers.

### Rewards

Running a non-validator node offers no protocol-level rewards. However, it provides several benefits:

- **Data Access:** Read L1 data directly from your own node without relying on external providers.
- **Performance:** Run a local EVM RPC or Info server for faster, private access to the network.
- **Privacy:** Reduce trust assumptions by querying your own node for account and market information.

To run a non-validator on Mainnet, you must specify at least one seed peer IP address in `~/override_gossip_config.json`.

For example, to use one of the ASXN nodes:
```bash
echo '{ "root_node_ips": [{"Ip": "64.31.48.111"}] }' > ~/override_gossip_config.json
```
