The operators that verify the network.
Echo nodes manage the job queue and the verification chain for Verified Content Valuation. Operators run the infrastructure that confirms real work, and earn from the network they help secure.
What an Echo node does
An Echo node receives work orders, routes jobs to GPU infrastructure, confirms completion, and records outcomes to the Echo chain. Nodes do not process content themselves. They manage the queue and the verification chain.
Receives work orders
When a post is created on a connected platform, an Echo node receives the work order that represents the verification job.
Routes and confirms jobs
The node routes the job to dedicated GPU infrastructure, waits for analysis, and confirms completion. It manages the queue, it does not process content itself.
Records attested work on-chain
Once a job completes, the node records the outcome to the Echo chain so every verification is discrete, auditable, and traceable.
Honoring every original holder.
Echo honors every original OPT node purchaser. Qualified OPT holders convert their OPT nodes to Echo nodes and receive ECHO tokens from a dedicated reserve of 250,000,000 ECHO. The conversion happens entirely off the open market and cannot dilute launch pricing.
How the network comes online
Half of the network is offered in the pre-sale and half is granted to qualified OPT holders, for a fully provisioned operator set at launch.
The Echo node pre-sale is coming soon.
Rewards follow real work
Echo node rewards are work contingent. Neither emission track creates passive yield, guaranteed returns, or debt obligations. Tokens are emitted only when verified work is completed and attested on-chain. A node with no verified work in the rolling window receives no rewards.
Bootstrap rewards
Active during the early network period while service demand ramps up. They help operators stand up infrastructure before usage reaches full scale, and they still require verified, attested work to emit.
Usage rewards
The long-term engine. Usage rewards are sized against attested service demand, not calendar time, so emissions track real protocol activity rather than a fixed schedule.
The node sale is coming soon.
Qualified OPT holders convert to Echo nodes off the open market. Check the allocation associated with your account.
