# Nodes network

## Join the Movement: Earn $30 Monthly in $CAPS <a href="#id-10df" id="id-10df"></a>

Participation is straightforward: set up a node to start earning up to $30 in $CAPS each month.

This is an opportunity to contribute to our network’s resilience while also making tangible financial gains in $CAPS.

Monthly payouts will be adjusted every month to match adoption, up until the budgeted envelope of $CAPS has been fully allocated.

## A. Name and register your node: Unlock potential surprises <a href="#id-4cd5" id="id-4cd5"></a>
