Titan Shared Nodes Guide

Overview

Titan Shared Nodes allow you to earn Flux node rewards without the technical knowledge, hardware requirements, or full collateral needed to run a complete Flux node. This guide covers purchasing Titan shares, understanding how shared nodes work, troubleshooting common issues like missing stakes or "Multisig requested" delays, and maximizing your Titan investment.

Titan is a fractional node ownership service that pools contributions from multiple users to run professional Flux nodes, distributing rewards proportionally to share ownership.

What Are Titan Shared Nodes?

Core Concept

Traditional Flux nodes require:

• Significant collateral: 1,000 FLUX (Cumulus), 12,500 FLUX (Nimbus), or 40,000 FLUX (Stratus)
• Technical expertise: Server management, networking, troubleshooting
• Infrastructure: VPS or dedicated server with specific requirements
• Time commitment: Monitoring, updates, maintenance

Titan Shared Nodes remove these barriers:

• Lower entry cost: Purchase fractional shares (much less than full node collateral)
• No technical knowledge needed: Titan manages the servers and infrastructure
• Passive income: Earn proportional rewards without active management
• Professional operation: Higher uptime than typical self-managed nodes
• Integrated with ZelCore: Purchase and monitor directly in wallet

How Titan Works

The process:

1. Multiple users purchase shares of a Titan node
2. Shares combine to fund one or more complete Flux nodes (Cumulus, Nimbus, or Stratus tier)
3. Titan operates the node(s) using professional infrastructure
4. Node earns Flux rewards from the network
5. Rewards are distributed proportionally to shareholders
6. You receive your share directly to your ZelCore wallet

Example:

• Titan Nimbus node requires 12,500 FLUX collateral
• 50 users each purchase 250 FLUX worth of shares
• Combined 12,500 FLUX funds a Nimbus node
• Node earns 100 FLUX per month in rewards
• Each shareholder receives 2 FLUX per month (100 ÷ 50)
• Proportional to share size

Titan vs. Running Your Own Node

Aspect	Titan Shared Node	Self-Managed Flux Node
Collateral Required	Flexible (buy shares of any size)	1,000 / 12,500 / 40,000 FLUX
Technical Skills	None needed	Linux, networking, troubleshooting
Hardware	Not needed (Titan provides)	VPS or dedicated server required
Setup Time	Minutes (purchase in ZelCore)	Hours to days (initial setup)
Maintenance	None (Titan handles)	Ongoing (updates, monitoring)
Control	None (Titan manages)	Full control over node
Uptime	Professional (typically 99%+)	Varies based on your management
Rewards	Proportional to share size	Full node rewards (minus costs)
Risk	Service dependency on Titan	Technical failures, your responsibility
Exit	Sell shares (varies by liquidity)	Full control, keep all collateral

When to choose Titan:

• You want Flux exposure without technical complexity
• Lower capital available (can't afford full node)
• Prefer passive investment over active management
• Trust Titan's professional operation
• Want diversification (own shares in multiple nodes)

When to choose self-managed:

• You have technical expertise and enjoy node operation
• Want full control and maximum rewards
• Have capital for full node collateral
• Can commit to ongoing maintenance
• Prefer decentralization (not relying on third party)

Purchasing Titan Shares in ZelCore

Prerequisites

Before purchasing Titan shares:

• ZelCore wallet (Desktop or Mobile) installed and set up
• FLUX balance sufficient for purchase amount plus transaction fees
• Understanding of which wallet is active (if you have multiple wallets)
• Reviewed Titan terms and understand it's a managed service

Step-by-Step Purchase Process

Step 1: Access Titan App in ZelCore

Desktop:

1. Open ZelCore
2. Navigate to Apps section
3. Find and click Titan or Titan Shared Nodes
4. Titan interface loads within ZelCore

Mobile:

1. Open ZelCore app
2. Tap Apps tab or menu
3. Select Titan
4. Titan interface opens

Step 2: Review Available Titan Nodes

The Titan interface shows:

• Available nodes with share availability
• Node tier (Cumulus, Nimbus, Stratus)
• Total node size (collateral requirement)
• Shares available for purchase
• Price per share (in FLUX)
• Minimum and maximum purchase amounts
• Expected rewards (estimated, not guaranteed)

Understanding node tiers:

• Cumulus Shared Nodes: Smallest tier, lower rewards per node, lower barrier
• Nimbus Shared Nodes: Mid-tier, moderate rewards
• Stratus Shared Nodes: Highest tier, best rewards per node, typically higher minimum

Choosing a node:

Considerations:

• Your budget: How much FLUX can you commit?
• Reward expectations: Higher tiers = better rewards per FLUX staked
• Availability: Some tiers may be fully subscribed
• Diversification: Consider spreading across multiple nodes/tiers

Step 3: Select Purchase Amount

1. Choose node tier you want to purchase shares in
2. Enter FLUX amount you want to stake
3. System shows:
   • Number of shares this represents
   • Your percentage of the node
   • Estimated rewards (approximate, varies with network)
   • Transaction fee
4. Verify amount is within your budget and acceptable

Minimum amounts:

Titan typically has minimum purchase requirements:

• Varies by node tier
• Usually 50-500 FLUX minimum
• Check current requirements in Titan app

Maximum amounts:

• Limited by shares available in that specific node
• Cannot exceed available shares
• May be capped per user for fairness

Step 4: Verify Active Wallet

CRITICAL STEP - DO NOT SKIP:

1. Before clicking "Purchase", check Settings > Wallets
2. Verify the correct wallet is active
3. Your Titan shares will be linked to this wallet's address
4. Ensure this is the wallet you intend to use long-term for Titan

Why this matters:

• Titan shares are linked to the wallet address used for purchase
• Changing wallets later requires support intervention (if possible at all)
• Rewards will be sent to the purchasing wallet's address
• You cannot easily transfer shares between wallets

See Apps FAQ for detailed wallet verification steps:

• How do I know which wallet is active?

Step 5: Confirm Purchase

1. Click "Purchase Shares" or similar button
2. Review confirmation screen:
   • FLUX amount being sent
   • Destination address (Titan multisig address)
   • Transaction fee
   • Source wallet/address
3. Double-check all details
4. Click "Confirm" to broadcast transaction

Step 6: Wait for Blockchain Confirmation

After confirming:

1. Transaction is broadcast to Flux blockchain
2. ZelCore shows transaction as "Pending"
3. Wait for blockchain confirmations (typically 10-20 confirmations)
4. Confirmation time: 15-30 minutes usually

During this time:

• Do NOT close ZelCore (can interrupt monitoring)
• Do NOT purchase duplicate shares (wait for confirmation first)
• You can check transaction on Flux explorer if desired

Check transaction on explorer:

1. Copy transaction hash from ZelCore
2. Visit https://explorer.runonflux.io
3. Paste transaction hash
4. Verify transaction is confirmed

Step 7: Multisig Processing (Common Delay Point)

After blockchain confirmation, Titan must process your purchase:

What is "Multisig requested"?

Titan uses multisignature wallet security:

• Your payment goes to a multisig address (shared control)
• Multiple Titan operators must approve transaction
• This adds security but introduces processing time
• You'll see "Multisig requested" status during this period

Normal multisig processing time:

• Typical: 24-72 hours
• During high volume: 3-5 days
• Weekends/holidays: May extend timeline
• First-time purchases: Sometimes take longer for verification

What happens during multisig processing:

1. Titan operators verify your transaction on blockchain
2. Confirm payment amount and source
3. Verify node has capacity for new shares
4. Multiple operators sign approval (security measure)
5. Your shares are officially allocated
6. You receive confirmation

Status indicators:

• "Pending" - Blockchain confirmation in progress
• "Multisig requested" - Waiting for Titan operator signatures
• "Confirmed" - Shares allocated, you're officially a shareholder
• "Active" - Node is operational, earning rewards

Step 8: Verify Share Allocation

After multisig completes:

1. Open Titan app in ZelCore
2. Go to "My Shares" or "My Nodes" section
3. Verify your purchase appears:
   • Node tier and ID
   • Number of shares owned
   • FLUX amount staked
   • Status (should show "Active" or "Earning")
   • Estimated rewards

If shares don't appear after 5 days:

See troubleshooting section below.

Transaction Fees

Blockchain transaction fee:

• Standard Flux network fee (typically 0.001-0.01 FLUX)
• Paid to Flux miners, not Titan
• Deducted from your wallet balance

Titan service fee:

• Titan takes a percentage of node rewards (not upfront)
• Typically 10-20% of earned rewards (check current Titan terms)
• Deducted automatically from rewards before distribution
• Not paid at purchase time

Total cost:

• FLUX amount for shares + small blockchain fee
• No large upfront fees beyond your stake

Understanding Titan Rewards

How Rewards Work

Reward generation:

1. Flux node operates and participates in network
2. Network assigns tasks to the node (app hosting, compute, storage)
3. Node completes tasks and validates transactions
4. Network pays rewards in FLUX to the node's collateral address
5. Titan collects rewards from all managed nodes
6. Titan deducts service fee (typically 10-20%)
7. Remaining rewards distributed proportionally to shareholders

Reward frequency:

• Nodes earn rewards continuously (per block)
• Titan typically distributes to shareholders weekly or bi-weekly
• Check Titan documentation for current distribution schedule
• Rewards sent directly to your ZelCore wallet address

Reward variability:

Rewards are not fixed - they fluctuate based on:

• Network activity: More apps running = more rewards
• Node tier: Stratus earns more than Nimbus, Nimbus more than Cumulus
• Node uptime: Higher uptime = more rewards (Titan maintains 99%+ typically)
• Network reward rate: Changes based on Flux tokenomics
• Your share percentage: More shares = more rewards

Example reward calculation:

Assumptions:

• You own 500 FLUX worth of shares in Nimbus node
• Total Nimbus node: 12,500 FLUX
• Your share: 500 ÷ 12,500 = 4%
• Node earns 100 FLUX in a month
• Titan fee: 15% (15 FLUX)
• Remaining to distribute: 85 FLUX
• Your share: 85 × 4% = 3.4 FLUX per month

Annual percentage:

• 3.4 FLUX/month × 12 = 40.8 FLUX/year
• On 500 FLUX stake = 8.16% annual return
• (These are example numbers, actual returns vary)

Monitoring Your Rewards

In ZelCore Titan app:

1. Open Titan app
2. Navigate to "My Shares" or "Rewards"
3. View:
   • Total rewards earned (all-time)
   • Pending rewards (not yet distributed)
   • Last distribution date and amount
   • Next expected distribution (if shown)

In ZelCore transaction history:

1. Select FLUX asset in ZelCore
2. View transaction history
3. Look for incoming transactions from Titan addresses
4. These are your reward distributions

Reward expectations:

Realistic expectations (approximate, not guaranteed):

• Cumulus shares: 5-10% annual return on FLUX staked
• Nimbus shares: 7-12% annual return
• Stratus shares: 9-15% annual return
• Subject to market conditions, network activity, Titan fees

These are NOT guaranteed - returns fluctuate based on network conditions.

Compounding Rewards

Manual compounding:

To reinvest rewards for compound growth:

1. Wait for reward distribution to your wallet
2. Use earned FLUX to purchase additional Titan shares
3. Larger stake = larger future rewards
4. Repeat process to compound over time

Benefits of compounding:

• Accelerates growth over time
• Increases your share percentage in nodes
• Maximizes long-term returns

Consideration:

• Transaction fees eat into small compounding amounts
• May make sense to wait for larger accumulated rewards
• Calculate if gas fees are worth it for amount compounding

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Issue 1: Stakes Missing - Shares Don't Appear After Purchase

Symptoms:

• You purchased Titan shares
• Transaction confirmed on blockchain
• Shares don't show in Titan app "My Shares" section
• Days or weeks have passed

Common causes:

1. Still in multisig processing:

   • Normal wait: 24-72 hours
   • Check Titan status updates
   • Be patient, especially during high volume

2. Wrong wallet active:

   • You purchased from Wallet A
   • But viewing Titan app while Wallet B is active
   • Shares are linked to purchasing wallet

3. Titan system delay or glitch:

   • Rare but possible
   • Usually resolves within a week
   • May require support contact

4. Insufficient purchase amount:

   • Didn't meet minimum requirements
   • Transaction may be pending refund
   • Check with Titan support

Troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Verify blockchain transaction

1. Find your purchase transaction in ZelCore history
2. Copy transaction hash
3. Check on https://explorer.runonflux.io
4. Verify:
   • Transaction confirmed (20+ confirmations)
   • Sent to correct Titan address
   • Amount matches intended purchase

Step 2: Check correct wallet is active

1. Go to Settings > Wallets in ZelCore
2. Verify which wallet you used for purchase (check transaction history)
3. Switch to that wallet if not currently active
4. Open Titan app again
5. Check if shares appear now

Step 3: Wait for multisig processing

If transaction confirmed but shares not allocated:

• Normal processing: 24-72 hours
• High volume periods: 3-5 days
• Check back daily
• Look for "Multisig requested" status if visible

Step 4: Contact Titan support

If shares still missing after 7 days:

1. Gather documentation:

   • Transaction hash
   • Date and time of purchase
   • Amount of FLUX sent
   • Destination address (from transaction)
   • Your ZelCore wallet address (sender)
   • Screenshots of transaction and Titan app

2. Contact Titan support:

   • Discord: Official Flux Discord, look for Titan channel or support
   • Telegram: Titan support channel (if available)
   • Email: Contact through official Flux/Titan support (check Titan app for contact info)

3. Provide information:

   • "I purchased Titan shares on [date] and they haven't appeared"
   • "Transaction hash: [hash]"
   • "Amount: [FLUX amount]"
   • "Wallet address: [your address]"
   • "Waited [X days] and shares not showing in My Shares"

4. Wait for response:

   • Typical response: 2-5 business days
   • Titan team will investigate
   • They can manually allocate shares if purchase verified

Expected resolution time: 5-10 business days after contacting support

Issue 2: "Multisig Requested" Status for Extended Period

Symptoms:

• Purchase shows "Multisig requested" status
• Days or over a week have passed
• No progress to "Confirmed" or "Active" status
• Uncertainty about whether purchase will complete

Understanding multisig delays:

Normal processing:

• Titan uses multisignature wallets for security
• Multiple operators must sign to approve allocation
• Requires coordination among Titan team members
• 24-72 hours is typical

Extended delays happen due to:

1. High purchase volume:

   • Many users purchasing simultaneously
   • Queue of multisig approvals to process
   • Titan processes in order received

2. Operator availability:

   • Multisig requires multiple operators online
   • Weekends, holidays, time zones affect availability
   • Not all operators available 24/7

3. Node capacity verification:

   • Titan must verify specific node has capacity
   • May need to allocate to different node
   • Additional coordination time

4. Unusual purchase patterns:

   • Very large purchase amounts
   • First-time purchaser verification
   • Source address flagged for manual review (rare)

What to do:

If under 5 days:

• Be patient - This is often normal during high volume
• Check Titan announcements:
  • Discord channels
  • Telegram updates
  • Twitter @fluxofficial
• No action needed yet - Wait for processing

If 5-7 days:

• Check for Titan updates:
  • Look for announcements about delays
  • Community may be discussing similar experiences
• Verify transaction on blockchain (should be confirmed)
• Prepare to contact support if reaches 7+ days

If over 7 days:

Contact Titan support:

1. Message through official channels:

   • Flux Discord (Titan support channel)
   • Telegram (Titan community)
   • Official support email

2. Provide details:

   • "Purchase has been in 'Multisig requested' status for [X days]"
   • Transaction hash
   • Purchase date and amount
   • Node tier purchased
   • Your wallet address

3. Ask for status update:

   • "Can you provide an update on when multisig will complete?"
   • "Is there an issue preventing approval?"
   • "What additional information do you need from me?"

4. Follow up:

   • If no response in 3-4 days, follow up politely
   • Use multiple channels (Discord + Telegram)
   • Community managers can escalate

Expected timeline:

• Support response: 2-5 days
• Issue investigation: 2-3 days
• Multisig completion after investigation: 1-3 days
• Total: 7-14 days from support contact to resolution

In very rare cases:

If multisig cannot complete due to technical issue:

• Titan will refund your FLUX
• Refund goes to source address
• You can try purchasing again
• Titan should explain reason for failure

Your funds are safe:

• Multisig means your FLUX is secured
• Cannot be lost during processing
• Will either complete or be refunded
• Patience is key

Issue 3: Rewards Not Received or Smaller Than Expected

Symptoms:

• You own Titan shares showing as "Active"
• Expected rewards distribution
• No rewards received, or amount much less than expected
• Unsure if something is wrong

Understanding reward expectations:

Rewards are variable, not fixed:

• Network activity fluctuates
• Node uptime can vary slightly
• Flux tokenomics affect reward rates
• Titan fee percentage
• Your share of total node

Common reasons for low/missing rewards:

1. Node recently became active:

• New nodes take time to start earning
• May not earn significantly for first 1-2 weeks
• Rewards ramp up as node proves uptime

2. Distribution schedule:

• Titan distributes weekly or bi-weekly (check schedule)
• You may be checking between distributions
• Rewards accumulate, then distribute in batches

3. Very small share:

• If you own small percentage of node
• Individual distribution may be very small (< 1 FLUX)
• May not distribute until threshold reached

4. Node downtime:

• If node went offline (rare with Titan professional management)
• Rewards stop during downtime
• Affects all shareholders proportionally

5. Network reward rate decreased:

• Flux network adjusts rewards based on tokenomics
• Some periods have lower overall rewards
• Affects all node operators

6. Incorrect calculation of expectations:

• Online calculators may be outdated
• Don't account for Titan fees accurately
• Network conditions different than calculator assumptions

Troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Verify shares are active

1. Open Titan app in ZelCore
2. Check "My Shares"
3. Verify status shows "Active" or "Earning"
4. If not active, node may not be earning yet

Step 2: Check distribution schedule

1. Look for Titan announcements about distribution frequency
2. Note when last distribution occurred
3. Calculate when next should be expected
4. You may simply be checking too early

Step 3: Review transaction history

1. Open FLUX asset in ZelCore
2. View full transaction history
3. Filter by date range since share purchase
4. Look for incoming transactions from Titan addresses
5. Rewards may be smaller than expected but still arriving

Step 4: Calculate realistic expectations

Use this formula:

Your monthly reward = (Node monthly reward × (1 - Titan fee %)) × Your share %

Example:
- Nimbus node earns ~100 FLUX/month (varies)
- Titan fee: 15% (0.15)
- Your shares: 500 FLUX out of 12,500 total (4%)

Calculation:
= (100 × (1 - 0.15)) × 0.04
= (100 × 0.85) × 0.04
= 85 × 0.04
= 3.4 FLUX/month

Compare to what you've actually received.

Step 5: Compare with community

1. Check Titan community channels (Discord, Telegram)
2. Ask if others receiving rewards normally
3. If widespread issue, Titan will announce
4. If just you, may be specific to your account

Step 6: Contact Titan support

If rewards genuinely missing:

Provide:

• Your wallet address (shareholder address)
• Node ID (if known)
• Amount of shares owned
• When shares became active
• Last reward received (if any)
• Expected vs actual rewards (with calculation)

Ask:

• "Are rewards being distributed to my address?"
• "Is my node operational and earning?"
• "Can you verify my share allocation is correct?"

Response time: 3-7 days typically

Expected resolution:

• Titan verifies node status
• Confirms distribution schedule
• May manually send missing rewards if error found
• Explains discrepancy if expectations were incorrect

Issue 4: Withdrawal Delays - Why Are My Withdrawals Taking So Long?

Symptoms:

• You requested a withdrawal from Titan
• Withdrawal shows as pending or processing for extended period
• Funds haven't arrived in your wallet after several days
• Uncertainty about when withdrawal will complete

Understanding Titan withdrawal delays:

Normal withdrawal processing:

Titan withdrawals are not instant due to the nature of node collateral management:

1. Withdrawal request submitted in Titan app
2. Node collateral adjustment required (Titan must rebalance)
3. Multisig approval process (same security as deposits)
4. FLUX unlocked and sent to your wallet
5. Blockchain confirmation completes withdrawal

Typical withdrawal timelines:

• Small withdrawals (rewards only): 24-72 hours
• Partial share withdrawals: 3-7 days
• Full share withdrawals: 5-14 days
• During high volume: Can extend significantly

Why withdrawals take longer than deposits:

Collateral rebalancing complexity:

Unlike deposits (which just add to a pool), withdrawals require:

• Recalculating node collateral distribution
• Potentially moving shares between nodes
• Ensuring remaining node has minimum collateral
• Coordinating with other shareholders
• Multisig signatures from multiple operators

Multisig processing (same as deposits):

• Multiple Titan operators must sign approval
• Requires coordination and availability
• Security measure to protect all users
• Typically adds 24-72 hours minimum

Node operational constraints:

• Cannot withdraw if it would drop node below collateral minimum
• May need to wait for node cycle completion
• Titan may need to restructure node allocations
• More complex than simple wallet transfer

What affects withdrawal speed:

Faster processing:

• Withdrawing only accumulated rewards
• Standard business hours (weekdays)
• Normal network volume
• Smaller withdrawal amounts

Slower processing:

• Full share withdrawals requiring rebalancing
• Weekends and holidays (operator availability)
• High volume of withdrawal requests
• Very large withdrawal amounts
• First-time withdrawal (additional verification)

Troubleshooting delayed withdrawals:

If withdrawal pending under 7 days:

1. Be patient - This is often normal for Titan withdrawals
2. Check Titan announcements:
   • Discord channels for withdrawal updates
   • Telegram community discussions
   • May be announced delays during high volume
3. Verify withdrawal request was submitted:
   • Check Titan app withdrawal history
   • Confirm request shows as "Processing" or "Pending"
4. No action needed yet - Wait for processing to complete

If withdrawal pending 7-14 days:

1. Check for status updates in Titan app
2. Look for email from Titan (check spam folder)
3. Review community channels for similar reports
4. Prepare to contact support if approaching 14 days

If withdrawal pending over 14 days:

Contact Titan support:

1. Gather information:

   • Withdrawal request date and time
   • Amount requested to withdraw
   • Your wallet address (where withdrawal should go)
   • Current status in Titan app
   • Screenshots of withdrawal request and status

2. Contact through official channels:

   • Flux Discord (Titan support channel)
   • Telegram (Titan community/support)
   • Email support (check Titan app for contact)

3. Provide details in message:

   • "I requested a withdrawal on [date]"
   • "Amount: [FLUX amount]"
   • "Current status: [Pending/Processing]"
   • "It's been [X days] - can you provide status update?"
   • "Destination wallet address: [your address]"

4. Ask specific questions:

   • "What is causing the delay?"
   • "When can I expect withdrawal to complete?"
   • "Is there an issue with my withdrawal?"
   • "What additional information do you need?"

Expected support timeline:

• Initial response: 2-5 business days
• Issue investigation: 2-4 days
• Resolution (withdrawal completion): 3-7 days after investigation
• Total: 10-20 days from support contact in complex cases

Common withdrawal delay causes:

High withdrawal volume:

• Many users withdrawing simultaneously
• Titan processes queue in order received
• Can significantly extend timelines during market volatility

Node rebalancing complexity:

• Your withdrawal requires moving shares between nodes
• Waiting for appropriate node cycle timing
• Coordinating multiple node adjustments

Operator availability:

• Multisig requires multiple operators online
• Weekends, holidays, time zones affect speed
• Not 24/7 processing like automated systems

Verification requirements:

• First-time withdrawal may require identity verification
• Large withdrawal amounts flagged for review
• Security checks to prevent unauthorized withdrawals

Technical issues:

• Rare but possible: System glitches delay processing
• Node operational issues preventing rebalancing
• Blockchain network congestion affecting payouts

Your funds are safe:

Important reassurances:

• Withdrawal delays don't mean funds are lost
• Multisig security protects your FLUX during processing
• Will either complete withdrawal or remain in your shares
• Titan has processed thousands of withdrawals
• Patience is key during processing

Prevention and expectations:

Set realistic expectations:

• Withdrawals are NOT instant (unlike regular wallet transfers)
• Plan for 7-14 day timeline for substantial withdrawals
• Reward withdrawals typically faster than share withdrawals
• Consider withdrawal timing (avoid weekends/holidays if urgent)

Best practices:

• Don't rely on Titan for immediate liquidity needs
• Withdraw rewards regularly if you need frequent access
• Plan large withdrawals well in advance
• Keep some liquid FLUX outside Titan for emergencies

Alternatives to full withdrawal:

If you need some liquidity but not full exit:

• Withdraw only accumulated rewards (much faster)
• Partial share withdrawal instead of full withdrawal
• Keep core position in Titan while accessing rewards
• Stagger withdrawals over time instead of one large request

---

Issue 5: Want to Sell/Withdraw Titan Shares

Symptoms:

• You own Titan shares
• Want to exit position and recover FLUX
• Unsure how to sell or if it's possible

Important: Titan share liquidity varies

Titan shares are NOT the same as your FLUX:

• Your FLUX was contributed to fund a node
• Node requires locked collateral to operate
• You cannot simply "withdraw" FLUX like from a wallet
• Shares represent your ownership stake in the node

Options for exiting:

Option 1: Wait for node unlock/disbanding (if applicable)

• Some Titan nodes have time commitments (6 months, 1 year, etc.)
• After commitment period, node may disband
• Collateral returned to shareholders proportionally
• Check your specific node terms

Timeline: Depends on node terms, can be months to years

Option 2: Sell shares to another user (if Titan supports)

• Titan may have built-in marketplace for share trading
• List your shares for sale
• Another user purchases your shares
• You receive FLUX from buyer

Availability: Check Titan app for "Sell Shares" or "Marketplace" feature

Considerations:

• May need to sell at discount to attract buyers
• Liquidity depends on demand
• Transfer takes time for multisig approval

Option 3: Request buyback from Titan (if offered)

• Some managed node services offer buyback
• Titan may purchase your shares at current market rate
• Usually at slight discount to market value

Check Titan terms to see if buyback is available

Option 4: Wait and accumulate rewards

If immediate exit isn't critical:

• Continue earning rewards
• Eventually rewards exceed your initial stake
• Effective "recovery" over time through rewards

Example:

• Stake 500 FLUX
• Earn ~8% annually = 40 FLUX/year
• After ~12.5 years, rewards = initial stake
• But you still own the shares for future rewards

What NOT to do:

• Don't expect instant liquidity - This isn't a trading asset
• Don't send shares - They're not transferable like tokens
• Don't demand refund - Titan committed your FLUX to node collateral

Before purchasing Titan shares:

Understand:

• This is a medium to long-term commitment
• Liquidity is limited compared to trading FLUX
• Best for users comfortable locking funds
• Exit options may be limited

To check exit options:

1. Open Titan app
2. Look for "Sell" or "Withdraw" options
3. Read Titan terms and conditions
4. Contact Titan support to clarify exit policies
5. Community channels may have recent info on liquidity

Issue 5: Purchased from Wrong Wallet

Symptoms:

• Purchased Titan shares
• Realized you used wrong ZelCore wallet
• Want shares associated with different wallet

This is a critical issue - see Apps FAQ for detailed guidance:

• I sent payment for app purchase to wrong wallet

Quick summary:

Can shares be transferred between your wallets?

Sometimes, with Titan support help:

1. Contact Titan support immediately
2. Provide proof you control both wallets
3. Provide transaction hash and both addresses
4. Request manual reassignment
5. Wait 7-14 days for review and decision

Success depends on:

• Catching error quickly
• Both wallets are yours (can prove it)
• Shares not yet actively earning (easier to reassign before activation)
• Titan policy and discretion

Alternative: Just use that wallet for Titan going forward

Often easier:

• Accept shares are in "wrong" wallet
• Use that wallet for Titan purposes
• Rename wallet to "Titan Rewards Wallet"
• Keep using it for future Titan purchases

Prevention:

• ALWAYS check Settings > Wallets before purchasing
• Verify active wallet name
• Don't rush through purchase
• See: How to verify active wallet

Best Practices and Tips

Before Purchasing

Do your research:

• Understand Titan is a managed service (you don't control nodes)
• Review current Titan fee structure
• Calculate realistic reward expectations
• Understand liquidity limitations (hard to exit)
• Check community feedback on Titan performance
• Read Titan terms and conditions fully

Prepare your wallet:

• Ensure sufficient FLUX balance (purchase amount + fees)
• Verify correct wallet is active
• Rename wallet if needed for clarity
• Have wallet backed up securely

Plan your purchase:

• Decide which node tier (Cumulus, Nimbus, Stratus)
• Determine purchase amount (within budget)
• Consider diversifying across multiple nodes/tiers
• Check minimum purchase requirements
• Calculate expected ROI timeline

During Purchase

Double-check everything:

• Active wallet is correct (Settings > Wallets)
• Purchase amount is accurate
• Node tier is as intended
• Destination address looks correct
• Transaction fee is reasonable
• Read confirmation screen completely

Document the purchase:

• Screenshot purchase confirmation
• Save transaction hash
• Note date, time, amount
• Record node tier and ID if shown
• Keep for support purposes if needed

After Purchase

Monitor the process:

• Watch for blockchain confirmation (15-30 min)
• Note when multisig status appears
• Check daily for status changes
• Be patient during multisig (24-72 hours normal)
• Verify shares appear in "My Shares" after allocation

Track your investment:

• Record initial stake amount
• Track rewards as they arrive
• Calculate actual vs expected returns
• Monitor node status regularly
• Keep records for tax purposes

Stay informed:

• Follow Titan announcements (Discord, Telegram)
• Join Flux community discussions
• Watch for changes in fee structure or terms
• Be aware of distribution schedule changes
• Learn from other shareholders' experiences

Maximizing Returns

Compounding strategy:

1. Let rewards accumulate to meaningful amount
2. Reinvest into additional shares
3. Compound increases your stake over time
4. Consider gas fees vs compounding amount
5. Set a threshold (e.g., every 100 FLUX earned)

Diversification:

• Spread investment across multiple node tiers
• Don't put all FLUX into single node
• Reduces risk if one node has issues
• Balances reward variability

Long-term perspective:

• Titan shares are best for long-term holding (1+ years)
• Short-term price fluctuations shouldn't drive decisions
• Focus on accumulating rewards over time
• Patience is key to good returns

Tax considerations:

• Track all rewards received (taxable income in many jurisdictions)
• Keep records of dates and amounts
• Consult tax professional for your situation
• Understand implications before investing
