# Worker Node Operator

An operator is an entity who participates in hosting worker nodes to execute business case logic in a network of worker nodes. The operator is represented by their dedicated EWX account.  

An EWX account may be created using the publicly available Polkadot wallets. EWX is currently supported by below wallets: 

1. Nova Wallet -[ https://novawallet.io/](https://novawallet.io/) 
2. SubWallet -[ https://www.subwallet.app/](https://www.subwallet.app/) 

The EWX account MUST NOT be used as a worker node account because they serve different purposes. The operator account nominates a worker node account which can represent the operator when submitting worker node results to EWX. 

An EWX account can hold EWT for staking and claiming rewards.
