What is a Status Node?
Status nodes support decentralized, private communication and enable censorship resistance.
Messages in the Status app are relayed between nodes to reach their destination, using the Waku messaging protocol. These nodes form a distributed network, so there is no single point of vulnerability to governmental action, privacy violation, or censorship. The bigger the network, the more reliable (and decentralized) the Status Network becomes.
Phase 0 is Just the Start
Phase 0
This phase is designed to improve and provide even more decentralization for the Status Network. Each participant will be rewarded with $100 in SNT upon completion of the program.
Application Required
Rewards for this phase will be managed individually, so the program will be limited to 100 people (but anyone is welcome to run a node, and we may have more rewards in the future).
Long Term Vision
Status nodes will eventually include crypto incentives to reward network participation. As part of this early phase, SNT rewards will be sent to participants.
