Xardian Nodes

Xardian Nodes are integral to the XProtocol ecosystem, designed for early supporters to secure the network and earn $KICK rewards. By operating a node, participants enhance the decentralized governance and security of the XProtocol network.

Key Features

• Incentivized Participation: Node operators earn rewards in $KICK tokens and receive a share of sequencer fees.

• Decentralization & Efficiency: Contribute to a decentralized network while ensuring efficient transactions.

• Airdrops: Future opportunities to earn $KICK tokens via airdrops.

Why Operate a Xardian Node?

---

Operating a Xardian Node allows participants to play a pivotal role in the network's decentralization, ensuring robust security and performance. This aligns with XProtocol’s mission of fostering a user-driven blockchain ecosystem, providing significant rewards for their contribution.

⚡️ What activities and transactions occur on the network?

The Xardian network supports an unlimited range of transactions, with a primary focus on gaming. This makes it an ideal platform for developers and gamers looking to leverage blockchain technology for immersive experiences.

⚡️ What are the software and development requirements?

The software for operating Xardian Nodes is currently in the early stages of development. Detailed instructions on where to download the software will be provided as the project progresses. The testnet is expected to go live soon, followed by the mainnet launch.

⚡️ What is the difference between buying nodes on different tiers?

There is no functional difference between buying a tier 1 node and a tier 35 node; the only difference lies in the pricing structure, allowing early adopters and supporters to purchase nodes at different price points. This structure ensures equitable access while supporting the network's growth and sustainability.

⚡️ What dApps will be available on the network?

Any Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalent decentralized application (dApp) can run on the XProtocol network, offering a wide range of possibilities for developers and users alike.

⚡️ How many nodes can I run?

Participants can operate multiple nodes, contributing significantly to the network's robustness and decentralization.

⚡️ What is the node block reward and how often do they occur?

Node block rewards are distributed in $xKICK, which can be converted to $KICK. The frequency of these rewards is yet to be determined (TBD).
