Checker Nodes
Checker Nodes are lightweight software nodes that validate operational standards within the Beamable Network Protocol. They are operated by holders of Checker Node License NFTs.
Technically speaking, Checker Nodes are software packaged within Docker Containers (a method of pre-packaging software for ease of execution) that verify the integrity of Worker Node operations in the protocol, in exchange for reward distributions.
Checker Node Licenses are NFTs on the Solana blockchain. Their purpose is to provide owners with the authority to deploy the Checker Node software in exchange for operational rewards.
Network Architecture
Customers provision compute from the protocol.
Worker Nodes execute the workload and collect their service fee.
Checker Nodes verify two things:
Proof of Availability: confirmation that the Worker Node was online and available.
Proof of Service: confirmation that the Worker Node correctly executed the job.
When a job is validated, tokens flow from the customer’s wallet to the Worker, Checker, and Treasury, all enforced on-chain.
Rewards
For maintaining operational standards, Checker Node License owners can earn daily token distributions as well as bonuses in token staking pools (including bonus revenue share opportunities).
Operational Rewards
Operational Rewards are based on the number of "checks" completed by a Checker Node License in a 24-hour period. The term "check" covers the operations that Checker Nodes are responsible for — Proof of Availability and Proof of Service verification. The conditional factor for executing these checks is liveness. So long as the license is online, its checks will be automated.
The following formula can be used to estimate monthly Checker Node License Rewards. It is important to recognize that this formula cannot perfectly determine monthly rewards, since new licenses and workloads can be introduced at any time.
Staking Rewards
All $BMB token owners who stake their $BMB are eligible for token rewards and revenue incentives, set by Worker Node operators for their staking pools. Checker Node License owners are eligible to benefit from a bonus USDC pool attached to Worker Node Pools.
For each Checker Node License held, up to 2500 $BMB can benefit from the bonus USDC pool. This pool, in the early protocol, will payout 5% of all revenue earned by the base Worker (which makes up all of the protocol's initial onchain revenue) to Checker Node License owners. More details on staking are defined on the $BMB Token page.
Node Operations
Operators can self-host or delegate hosting to an approved Node-as-a-Service (NaaS) partner to begin executing checks and earning operational rewards.
Delegated Operation (NaaS)
Hosting with a NaaS Partner is a simple and time-efficient solution that can be set up with a low budget and no technical lift. Each partner allows License Owners to operate up to 50 licenses per subscription.
DeEEP is a Beamable-supported NaaS platform, which runs on the DeEEP Network, a DePIN network of devices that allow operators to host on a truly decentralized platform.
Price: $5/month or $42 per year
Website: https://beamable.deeep.network/
Easeflow is a trusted name in DePIN and a partnered NaaS platform for node operations.
Price: $5/month with discounts for 3, 6, and 12-month subscriptions.
Self-Hosting
This is a more technical approach, recommended for operators with experience utilizing command-line interfaces to execute and deploy software onto VPS or hardware devices.
Recommended Hardware
CPU: 0.25 vCPU
RAM: 512MB
Storage: 512MB
Bandwidth: 10 Mbps up/down
Uptime Requirement: 95%+

FAQ
How does vesting work and how often are rewards paid? Rewards are distributed daily, based on approved checks completed. Token vesting begins only once rewards are claimed in the Licensing Console.
How do license owners earn revenue share? Checker Node License owners who stake $BMB can benefit from the bonus revenue share, which allocates 5% of Worker Node revenue to license owners who stake their $BMB. More details are available on the $BMB Token page.
When do license NFTs become transferable? Checker Node License NFTs are non-transferable until Nov. 12, 2026 (one year after TGE).
Can I still purchase Checker Node Licenses? Licenses are sold during dedicated sales windows, which can be tracked at https://beamable.network/nodes.
What is the total supply of Checker Node Licenses that will be sold? While there is no hard cap on total supply, the foundation aims to maintain a supply of 10,000 or fewer, in the current outlook on long-term protocol and emissions health.
How can I get technical support? Technical support for Checker Nodes and all other inquiries can be found in our official Discord server at https://discord.gg/beamablenetwork.
