Checker Node Licenses
The Checker Node License authorizes you to operate a Checker Node on the Beamable Network. Licensed operators help keep game workloads honest and high-quality, and are eligible to earn $BMB under the protocol’s rewards model. Licenses are issued as NFTs on Solana and require KYC before claim/operation. This license is not equity and does not guarantee profit. It is an operational right within the Beamable Network.
A Checker is a lightweight validator focused on integrity and quality assurance for game services. By independently checking availability and proof of service, Checkers turn game spend into transparent, auditable payments, making the network trustworthy for studios and fair for operators.
For full reward schedules and unlocks, see Tokenomics & Unlocks. Emissions begin at TGE; validation fees are paid from real workloads on the network.
Network Architecture
Games pay to run live services (multiplayer, inventories, leaderboards, etc.).
Router Nodes match each request to the best container (QoS/latency/price).
Worker Nodes execute the workload and collect a service fee (optionally priced in USDC per policy).
Checker Nodes (you) verify two things:
Proof of Availability: Was the Worker online and ready?
Proof of Service: Did the Worker actually do the job (via verifiable/zero-knowledge checks)?
When a job is validated, tokens flow from the game’s wallet to the Worker (service fee), Checker (validation fee), Developer (royalty), and Treasury (ecosystem fee), all enforced on-chain. (Beamable Network Docs)

FAQ
Basics
What exactly am I buying? You are buying a Checker Node License, issued as an NFT. This license gives you the right to operate (or delegate) a Checker Node that verifies the work of Worker Nodes on the Beamable Network.
What does a Checker Node do? A Checker Node is an independent validator. It verifies that Worker Nodes are online when they claim to be (Proof of Availability) and that they actually completed the job correctly (Proof of Service). When checks pass, smart contracts release payments to the right parties, including a validation fee to the Checker.
Do I need technical skills? You do not need technical skills. You can either self-host a Checker Node with minimal hardware or delegate it to an approved hosting partner.
VIP NFT – Whitelist
What is the “VIP NFT”? A special NFT providing early access, discounts, and a token bonus for node buyers.
Saves your spot in the Node Sale. Also functions as a discount for the node sale
How do I buy the VIP NFT? VIP NFTs are sold prior to the main Checker Node sale, guaranteeing access and perks.
How do I get my Node License? After you purchase the Checker Node License and complete KYC, the NFT will be airdropped to the wallet that you designate at the time of purchase.
Buying & KYC
Which wallets are supported? Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and more
How do I fund USDC on Solana? Via bridge (Wormhole, Allbridge) or exchange deposit. (Insert link to video)
Who handles KYC? Blockpass (subject to final approval by the vendor). You will need a government-issued ID and basic residency info.
What if KYC fails or times out? Your purchase will be refunded.
Price, Transfer, and Limits
What is the price? See current sale portals.
Is the license transferable? Yes, but subject to lockup and policy rules.
Are refunds possible? Refunds are only possible for failed KYC.
Emissions – Checker Node Rewards
How do Checker Node Rewards work?
Checker Node rewards originate from two sources: $BMB emissions that commence at the TGE and ongoing validation fees paid by games for the workloads the network processes. After a job is validated, smart contracts distribute payments to the Worker (service fee), the Checker (validation fee), the Developer (royalty), and the Treasury.
To size the opportunity with real usage data, Beamable already powers over 95 live games, serves ~2.5 million monthly players, and processes around 10 billion API calls per month. Reported revenue is about $4M ARR. These figures indicate real, recurring demand that generates validation work for Checkers.
When do emissions start? Emissions begin after successful KYC and activation of your node.
How is my share calculated? Pro rata vs. total active Checkers. You can review emissions tokenomics at Tokenomics and Unlock Schedules
Post-Emissions & Recurring Share
What happens after emissions end? After the 5-year minimum emission period, Checker Nodes continue to earn from validation/service fees. According to current policy, 5-10% of network Worker-Node revenue is allocated to Checker Nodes as validation fees. This can be adjusted monthly via governance. Distribution is pro-rata to active Checkers that successfully validate jobs, with performance and uptime requirements enforced by the protocol.
How are service fees shared? A percentage of network fees is allocated to Checker operators.
Who can change that share? The Foundation DAO is subject to governance and oversight by its Council.
Operations & Performance
What uptime standards must I meet? 95%+ uptime.
What penalties exist? Suspension of rewards; no permanent slashing.
How do I monitor my node? Via dashboard (Beamable Portal) or hosting partner tools.
