Own a Node.
Participate in the Ecosystem.
Nodes are the next participation step after General Staking. They connect node ownership, reward eligibility, future vault access, and deeper ecosystem participation through one NWS-powered asset.
What a Node Means in NodeWaves
A NodeWaves node is a participation asset — not a server, not hardware, not a mining rig. It represents your commitment to the ecosystem beyond General Staking. Owning a node unlocks deeper participation: vault access, reward profile eligibility, community recognition, and future utility.
Participation Asset
A digital license representing your commitment to the NWS ecosystem.
Ecosystem Access
Unlocks deeper participation layers beyond General Staking.
Reward Eligibility
Stronger reward profiles where eligible, based on node type, commitment tier, and ecosystem conditions.
Future Governance Direction
Qualified node participants may gain governance-related participation as the ecosystem matures.
Not Hardware Mining. Not Proof-of-Work.
NodeWaves nodes are not proof-of-work miners. There is no hardware setup, electricity cost, or hashrate competition. A node is a digital participation asset inside the NWS ecosystem.

How Node Participation Works
Five steps to start participating in the NWS ecosystem. No hardware. No technical setup. Just commitment.
Acquire Your Node
Choose a Founder Node or Lite Node using NWS tokens. Your node is your entry point into deeper ecosystem participation.
Stake Through General Staking
Begin your commitment through General Staking. Stake NWS to align with the ecosystem and build your committed balance.
Assign to Your Node Vault
Assign your committed NWS balance into your node-linked vault to unlock stronger reward profiles and deeper ecosystem access.
Earn Rewards
Receive dynamic NWS rewards based on your node type, commitment tier, and ecosystem conditions.
Participate & Grow
Engage with the community, earn achievements, and contribute to the ecosystem's direction as it matures.
How Staking Connects to Nodes
General Staking is the base commitment layer. Once you've staked NWS, acquiring a node unlocks the next level of participation — including vault access and stronger reward profiles. Staking comes first. Nodes come second. Vaults come third.
General Staking
The base commitment layer. Stake NWS to begin earning and align with the ecosystem.
Node Participation
Acquire a node to unlock deeper access, stronger reward profiles, and vault eligibility.
Vault Access
Assign committed balance to your node-linked vault for stronger reward profiles where eligible.
Node-Linked
Staking Vaults
After acquiring a node, you can assign your staked NWS balance into your node-linked vault to unlock stronger reward profiles and deeper ecosystem access.
Vault access requires node participation. Without a node, vault features remain locked.
