What happens next

  • A person reads each request and replies by email. Requests are reviewed, not approved automatically.
  • You do not need approval to run a provider or an RPC node: the network is permissionless and you can start with the guides. Validator admission is by governance approval during the preview.
  • There is no promise of acceptance, and no earnings claim. Providers are paid for paid, verified, useful work; there are no yields, airdrops or points.

Sponsorship in the first phase

Running a node is open to everyone. Only sponsorship by the treasury is gated, and it is decided by governance.

  • The treasury can bond TNZO it already holds on behalf of an approved validator. That stake is slashable, never votes and earns nothing. Nothing is issued: the supply is fixed.
  • Every payout is one governance proposal. A new operator cannot file it: the proposer must hold 1% of the bonded stake. A request here does not file one.
  • Approval is checked on chain: the machine identity must hold a TPM endorsement from a recognized root, and its verified-available hours are counted. A Secure Enclave or a firmware TPM without a recognized root cannot be approved today.
  • The limits are governed parameters and all start at zero, so nothing flows until governance sets them. This page states no amounts.
  • Revoking an approval stops every later payment at once; a sponsored bond is recalled by its own proposal.

Not offered: income, yield, airdrops, points, or any payment for holding or for signing up. Rewards follow paid, verified, useful work only.

To check your node against the criteria and prepare an application yourself, the node CLI has tenzro sponsor check, tenzro sponsor apply, tenzro sponsor status.
