Node Sale
The public offering of Autheo validator node licenses, allowing participants to purchase the right to operate validator nodes on the network.
The Autheo Node Sale is the public offering of validator node licenses for the Autheo blockchain. There are 399 sovereign validator nodes available, each earning THEO token emissions over a 7-year schedule. Sovereign nodes can be fractionalized into Core nodes (1% of a sovereign node allocation) and Prime nodes (10% allocation), allowing participation at different investment levels. Node operators validate transactions, produce blocks, and secure the network. They can also earn supplementary income by providing DCC compute and ABW34 storage capacity. Pricing increases across tiers as supply decreases.

Staking is the process of locking cryptocurrency tokens in a blockchain network to support its operations — such as validating transactions and securing consensus — in exchange for earning rewards. On Autheo, staking THEO tokens allows participants to run validator nodes that power the Layer-1 and receive THEO emissions from the validator pool.
