Become a Neos Node Operator

Nodes power the Neos ecosystem by validating research, directing incentives to RIPs and decentralizing the network.

Four Whitelist Application Categories

There are four categories to apply for a Node whitelist under, depending on where you as an early community member best add value in. You can apply in multiple categories as well.

Get rewarded for operating a Neos node

NEOS Token Airdrop

All NEOS Node operators will get a day 1 airdrop of $NEOS tokens. Roughly 30% of the $NEOS token supply is being airdropped to Node operators on the first day.

Lifetime NEOS Emissions

Node operators get daily emissions of $NEOS for their contribution to the network. Strong uptime and availability is required by the nodes to maximize their emissions.

Direct rewards for RIPs

Node operators emissions are directoed towards RIPs, incentivizing research and fostering creativity in the ecosystem to help advanced initiatives.

Three Node Types to Choose From

There will be a total of 25,000 Neos Node licenses distributed, across three categories of different nodes. Each node has a fixed supply, a guaranteed $NEOS Day 1 airdrop and a variable emission amount of NEOS depending on the node type.
