You can run a participation node. More details on how to run a node is below https://developer.algorand.org/docs/run-a-node/setup/types/
For free?
You will require a server to run the node.
I need to pay the server and keep everything up and running, as node operator, will I have any rewards?
There is no reward for the node operator right now, it has ended already.
Only relay nodes get rewards, so I need to pay a server monthly and do maintenance for free, I always say, Algorand has a closed network with a group of unknowns doing relay nodes and getting huge rewards
There is no reward running for any kind of node, including relay node. Anyone can run a relay node in Algorand and Algorand maintains its own Relay nodes with selected companies to make sure the network always stays online.
I was talking about this companies, Algorand network look like EOS
Why do you think it looks like EOS?
Who are this companies running the relay nodes and getting rewards? I understand in the beginning to bootstrap the network, but it continue to be the same, a group of people get pay for running relay nodes and those who came later, no rewards, look like Algorand doesn’t care about grow up the network
As I already clarified earlier, there is no reward for running a node. In Q4 of 2021, we launch a pilot relay node program and another community relay node program on Q2 of 2022 to onboard relay node runners to the network. You can find all the company names and details in the links below https://algorand.foundation/news/new-algorand-relay-node-running-pilot-now-live https://algorand.foundation/news/community-relay-node-program-live-march
what benefits they will get by running a node?
One can run a node to help decentralize the network.
why one will do it without getting any benefits? doesn't make any sense.
At the moment there is no incentive program live however we announce such events from time to time. In case you didn't know, there are already over 1400 nodes online on Algorand.
But who help me to pay the server cost and the maintenance?
how to run a node instructions are here https://developer.algorand.org/docs/run-a-node/setup/types/#relay-node
Thanks, but I know how to run a node, still no answer to my concerns, why do I need to run a server and maintenance everything for free, when the first companies or people running the relay nodes are doing millions
Algorand node reward program has ended. There might be more reward programs in the future. You can participate in our governance for incentive instead
When I will get rewards, I will run a node, nothing is free
