# Nodes

## Game Nodes

Certain games in the KAP Games studio or publishing portfolio may periodically release proof of work (PoW) nodes, which will each generate the total token supply for their associated game(s). These nodes differ from many in the existing web3 ecosystem in that they will issue <mark style="color:yellow;">**100% of their token supply**</mark> to node holders. These nodes will not be preceded by a "premine," and all participants will enter on similar footing.&#x20;

This adheres to our strict philosophy around building user-owned economies, which itself is an extension of the original Bitcoin philosophy.&#x20;

### Discounts for $KAP Holders

When one of our eligible games hosts a node sale, $KAP holders will qualify for discounts when they use $KAP to make their purchase, allowing loyal holders to achieve earlier entry points than outsiders. As the nodes in our ecosystem are unique in that they encompass 100% of the fully diluted token supply, we prioritize our existing ecosystem participants with discounts and whitelists.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**$KAP used to purchase nodes is burnt**</mark>, thus further reducing the circulating $KAP token supply.

{% hint style="info" %}
Node sales, tokens, and their associated technologies are hosted and owned by the Kapital Foundation, a counterparty of KAP Games. The Kapital Foundation partners with [Nodeops.xyz](https://nodeops.xyz/) to ensure our non-technical users can easily run our nodes.
