Nebulas PoD Node Decentralization Strategy Based on Proof of Devotion (PoD) is now accepting applications!

To best accomplish the decentralized transition of Nebulas’ mainnet nodes, the Nebulas PoD Node Decentralization Strategy will gradually open node applications to all. Initially, we invite active project, Nebulas partners and community members within the current Nebulas ecosystem to deploy nodes and explore the governance processes in advance to the public release to provide valuable advice for testing and improvement.

Starting today, you can click on the application on node.nebulas.io to apply. The Nebulas team will then review all applications and select those who can officially join only the decentralization process.

To apply to be a Nebulas node, please ensure that you have the following:

1. A Nebulas Mainnet Address in which you fully control

2. A server to operate the node that meets the minimum hardware requirements:

CPU：>=4-Core minimum (Recommended 8-Core)

RAM：>=16G

Disk: >= 600G SSD

NTP: NTP service is required on the server to ensure correct time synchronization for all operational nodes.

3. A deposit 20,000 NAS as collateral (no need to submit a deposit before passing the application process)

The PoD consensus mechanism will officially launch in January of 2020. In addition, the application process will be opened to in approximately 2 months.
