Node holders can: * Operate as validators or GPU providers * Earn token rewards for contributing compute capacity * Build stackable node operations businesses * Participate in network governance **NFT Trading Mechanics**: Nodes are ERC-721 compliant NFTs that trade against USDT on GVEX. * Hardware specifications (GPU models, compute capacity) * Historical earnings * Operational status * Network reputation When trading Nodes, you're exchanging these operational assets directly on-chain. Settlement occurs instantly, and the NFT transfers to the buyer's wallet upon trade execution. *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
