🕒 3 min readWelcome to the engine room of the decentralized AI economy. A HyperCycle Node License is more than a right to participate; it’s an investment in a dynamic, evolving Node Factory designed for long-term growth and wealth generation. You are not just buying a node – you are acquiring a seed that is designed to grow into a forest of up to 1024 nodes from a single license line.
Each license undergoes a process of growth through binary splits. By performing essential work on the network – known as tilling (maintaining uptime) and compute (processing transactions) – your node gains reputation. Once its reputation score doubles, the license splits, creating two nodes from one while carrying its history forward. This process can repeat up to ten times, exponentially expanding your operational capacity and earning potential.
Step 1: Choose Your Factory Type
You can acquire your Node Factory in one of two ways. Each offers the same powerful splitting mechanism but with different features and on different blockchains.
Ethereum Node Factory Acquire your Node Factory license directly on the Ethereum mainnet. This is the classic choice for maximum security and decentralization, rooting your operation in the largest and most established Web3 ecosystem.
Advanced Node Factory Enclosure (ANFE) on Base The ANFE is a next-generation Node Factory minted on the efficient Base blockchain. It is a secure, open enclosure designed to support the distribution of specialized vertical AI agents. Built using the Earth64 data structure, the ANFE is the premier choice for advanced operators focused on deploying sophisticated AI services at scale.
Step 2: Select Your Node Factory Tier
The tier you choose determines the starting size of your node factory and its ultimate production capacity. A higher tier begins with more nodes, all of which undergo the same splitting process. The “Max Node Capacity” listed below is the potential number of nodes your license can create after all splits are complete.
| Tier Name | Max Node Capacity | Price (Ethereum Factory) | Price (ANFE on Base) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1,024 | $132 | $2,306 |
| 11 | 2,048 | $284 | $4,594 |
| 12 | 4,096 | $567 | $9,152 |
| 13 | 8,192 | $1,085 | $16,606 |
| 14 | 16,384 | $2,054 | $32,217 |
| 15 | 32,768 | $3,446 | $62,245 |
| 16 | 65,536 | $7,509 | $120,140 |
| 17 | 131,072 | $14,424 | $232,584 |
| 18 | 262,144 | $27,245 | $409,732 |
| 19 | 524,288 | $48,761 | $787,019 |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does one license produce 1024 nodes? Through a process of binary splits. Your node starts with a reputation score of 1.0. By performing work (tilling and compute), the score increases. When it reaches 2.0, the node splits into two new nodes, each with a score of 1.0. This can repeat up to 10 times for a single license line, resulting in 2^10, or 1024 nodes.
What is the difference between a Level 10 and a Level 19 license? A Level 10 license starts with 1 node, which can ultimately become 1024 nodes. A Level 11 starts with 2 nodes, which can become 2048. Each level doubles the starting number of nodes and, therefore, the final production capacity. A Level 19 “MasterNode” starts with 512 nodes, which can ultimately split into a staggering 524,288 nodes.
What is the difference between an Ethereum Factory and an ANFE? Both are Node Factories that create new nodes through splitting. The Ethereum Factory is minted on the Ethereum mainnet for maximum security. The ANFE is minted on the Base L2 for efficiency and includes an advanced “enclosure” structure designed to support specialized AI agents.
