Who should run a Metanode?

Whether you are a professional miner or a blockchain enthusiast interested in securing your favourite network, you can never go wrong by running a Metanode

Miners and validators

Metanodes unlock a stable revenue source for hashers, mining pools and professional staking companies at negligible extra cost

Full nodes

Full nodes altruistically forward blocks and transactions today. Wouldn't it be nice to get compensated instead?

Budding entrepreneurs

Blockchain distribution networks (BDNs) have raised 10s of millions of USD. What if you could launch a BDN in a single click?
