The operation of an RSS Node is permissionless and is subject to a set of requirements set by the Network.

Node Types

In addition to the standard Nodes operated by most operators, there are special Nodes that have unique characteristics:

1. Alpha Node is an honorary status awarded to RSS3 Nodes that joined the RSS3 Network during the Alpha Mainnet stage from March 12 to June 3, 2024. It does not offer any special privileges.
2. Public Good Node donates all the proceedings to support initiatives and clauses that are oriented towards Public Goods.
