1. Early Bird X Node Rewards

The ‘Early Bird X Node Rewards’ event is applied to the addresses entire VET balance. This assumes the node complies with all requirements of X Nodes stated in VeChain Apotheosis Part II and X Node Program. The VeChain Foundation reserves the rights to determine an X Node’s status based on publicly available documentation;

For participating X Nodes: monitoring starts as soon as each wallet receives the first installment of rewards;

Rewarded X Nodes will have to keep the minimum VET balance of the full amount seen in previous reward snapshot. The value necessary is not the minimum of the X Node tier but the balance snapshotted for each reward issued during the event. These balances are required until September 1st or a node will lose the designated X Node status.

Note to Ledger Users:

We have been in contact with the Ledger team and have a general idea of the launch of their wallet. The listed dates coincides with those suggested dates. Like any technical implementation, launch dates can be postponed for additional screening and testing. If you are waiting for the Ledger support to arrive and it is not made available prior to the August 10th deadline, please bind your X Node in the mobile wallet or you will lose your X Node.

There will be means in the future to transfer your X Node to a Ledger (or any third-party) Wallet.

We respect Ledger’s ability to take as long as they see fit to ensure the quality of their product. Ledger is a 3rd party service and device. We have our own deadlines with clients and have completed the proper security testing of our wallet. We are aware many people feel more secure with their Ledger device but we cannot sacrifice our road map.
