Purpose

Running a Founder's Node is a great way to help the Gala Games and Entertainment ecosystem and get rewarded. This article explains the benefits of running one.

Assumptions Made

This article assumes the reader knows:

What is a Founder's Node? ‍

Gala Node Software Requirements

What are Non-Fungible-Tokens (NFTs)?‍

What is a Distribution?‍

Procedure

When a Founder's Node meets the daily uptime quota of a maximum of 24 hoursthe operators are rewarded with $GALA and other game-related tokens daily. Each Founder's Node (paired with a license) rewards points in the distribution. 

For example: If a person owns 10 Founder's Nodes Licenses and fulfills the quota, they would get 40 points. The $GALA amount is not fixed and can change based on how many points are in the distribution cycle. Founder's Node owners are also eligible for random NFT distributions. 

NOTE: NFTs are finite and are a bonus reward, not the main incentive.
