II. Bluwhale Node Details
1. Bluwhale Node Types
There are two types of Bluwhale nodes to decentralize the AI network
Master Nodes: Limited availability to 100,000 and limited timeframe to purchase from September 30th 10AM UTC until December 23rd 11PM UTC
Common Nodes: Infinite availability and no limitation to quantity or timeframe for purchase starting December 1st, 10AM UT
The main difference between those two nodes is that Master nodes can create a community of people running nodes together and boosting the groups rewards. In contrast, Common nodes have only 1/10th the emissions, a lower price tag and no boosting capabilities.

5. What Is Next After Buying a Bluwhale Master Node?
Receive Your Master Node Licenses in NFT Form
About 3-4 weeks after purchasing a Bluwhale verifier node license, investors will receive an ERC-721 NFT to the wallet addresses used during the Bluwhale node sale.
The NFT symbolizes ownership of the purchased Bluwhale node. Buyers will receive one NFT for each purchased node. The NFTs will be airdropped directly to buyer wallets 3-4 weeks after the node sale. There is no claiming process. The Master Node license gives buyers lifetime access.
The NFTs will be non-transferable for the first year after the node sale. This is to ensure the ongoing stability of our verifier nodes. The community will be able to influence this through governance.
The team will launch the verifier node client between the NFT airdrop and the Bluwhale Mainnet launch. This will allow users sufficient time to download, install, and power up their nodes to start earning rewards.
Run Bluwhale Node
Users must download the Bluwhale mobile app and connect their wallet to run the node with a single click. Each node requires 500 tokens to be staked while operating. The system automatically recognizes the node licenses in your wallet and allows you to operate them in the app. No claiming, no setup, nothing else is required from you.
The Bluwhale Master node app is already available but the nodes will only be displayed or recognized once the Bluwhale Mainnet goes live in Q1 2025.
Node operators who don’t want to run Bluwhale verifier nodes on their computers, can choose a Virtual Private Server (VPS) provider to host their nodes, but they will still need to run them manually.
Here are some reliable VPS options: AWS, Tencent Cloud, Rachnerd, Hostwinds, Digital Ocean.
Make sure to pick the package that matches the minimum hardware requirements.
* Minimum Hardware Requirements for Running an Bluwhale Master Node:
Fast CPU with 2+ cores
4GB+ RAM
8+ MBit/sec download Internet service
For reference, even the lowest-end laptops and PCs today can efficiently run a Bluwhale Master node. You don’t even need a physical GPU to run Bluwhale verifier nodes on your computer.
Claiming Bluwhale Node Rewards
Master node holders can claim rewards after 120 days for a full claim or immediately at a 25% penalty.
Staking Bluwhale Node Rewards
Master node holders can stake their nodes for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or even 4 years to optimize for the highest return on their rewards. The longer the staking duration, the higher the yield.
Boosting Bluwhale Node Rewards
Master node holders can create their own communities by inviting friends and followers with Common nodes to operate their nodes on mobile together. Only Master nodes can boost earnings for the group, and the reward boost scales the larger their community is.
Delegating Your Bluwhale Node
Node operators without running Bluwhale Master nodes alone can choose a Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider. NaaS companies handle the whole process for you. You can “delegate” your verifier Node License (NFT) to a NaaS provider and earn rewards automatically.
Here are some reliable NaaS options: Easeflow, Animoca, Luganodes, Nodeops, Builder etc.
