# Node Operations and Uptime Rewards ### Pre-TGE Node Uptime Points System * Points Allocation: Each node earns 1 point per day of uptime. * Standard Operational Interval: Nodes operated for up to 90 days pre-TGE, allowing fair accumulation of points and ensuring a stable network before token distribution began. ### Distribution of Nodes via Node Sale * Objective: Foster a decentralized network of nodes capable of handling simple workloads at a minimum (e.g. memory workloads). * Timeline: Nodes must be operational within 30 days post-sale, ensuring early utility and aligning with regulatory standards. * Nodes provide critical infrastructure for AI inferencing and the OSMI backend, guaranteeing functional utility from launch. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.osmi.ai/tokenomics/node-operations-and-uptime-rewards.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
