Validation of Candidate Node Machines
How prospective node operators check whether their planned machines actually improve network decentralization, using the community optimization model and the IC target topology.
Troubleshooting Failed NNS Proposals
What to do when a Network Nervous System proposal you submitted as a node provider fails to validate or fails to adopt.
Reward Configuration Guide
How a node provider submits the reward configuration proposal that registers their nodes with the Network Nervous System and starts the reward stream.
Proof of Useful Work
The Internet Computer's membership and consensus model — dedicated standardised hardware doing real computation, governed by the NNS, instead of hashing or pure stake.
Performance-based Rewards
How the Performance-based Rewards (PBR) v1 schedule scales monthly node rewards according to block-maker failure rates relative to subnet baseline.
Node Provider Self-declaration
The identity declaration and good-faith statement a prospective node provider files before the NNS votes on their onboarding proposal.
Node Provider Roadmap
The end-to-end path to becoming a node provider on the Internet Computer, organized as six milestones from education through ongoing node management.
Node Provider Remuneration
How node providers are paid — the minting cadence, the XDR conversion, and the reward tables for each hardware generation and geography.
Node Provider Onboarding
The technical procedure for becoming an accepted node provider on the Internet Computer, from tool installation through NNS proposal and node operator records.
Node Provider Documentation
How independent operators run the hardware that hosts the Internet Computer — the role, the current onboarding status, the lifecycle from proposal to operation, and the rewards.
Changing the Node Provider or Data-Center Principal
NNS proposal procedures for replacing a lost or transferred node provider principal, replacing a corrupted node operator HSM, and updating data-center principal records.
Adding Additional Node Machines to an Existing Allowance
How an existing node provider with unused allowance brings additional node machines onto the network without going through the full onboarding flow.
