**STEP 2: Generate your ETH Sepolia API**

After you select your plan for the Fuel node, you’ll see a section for API.

Two popular options are [Infura](https://app.infura.io/) & [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/).

Choose Ethereum Sepolia & confirm your details. Copy your `API Link`

**_Your node is all set and ready to go!If you have any queries, you can reach out to Mintair on_** [**_Discord_**](https://discord.gg/mintair) **_& open a ticket. Sometimes there might be issues from Fuel’s end as well, make sure you’re updated with their announcements.  
  
FAQ_**

**Q1: I am running a Fuel node. Is there a way to link my node with a wallet address or something that identifies me as the node runner for potential future rewards?**

A1: Hey, currently, the Fuel node is not incentivized and is in the testnet stage. What you're running is a local node. Validator nodes, which may offer incentives, will be introduced in the future.

Q2: **If Fuel decides to incentivize local node running in the future, how will they identify the node runners?**

A2: Typically, when projects decide to incentivize node operation, they make an announcement and collect information from node runners directly, often through channels like Discord.
