{% hint style="warning" %}
For whitelabel (private) nodes, format them in the following format:\
"wl\_node\_{ASSET\_SLUG}\_{YOUR\_PROVIDER\_SLUG}\_0"\
\
If you are sending more than 1 node per asset, increase the last character by 1 for each node (ex. *"wl\_solana\_cool-nodes\_0", "wl\_solana\_cool-nodes\_1", ...)*
