# MXS Cloud Node Licences
At **MXS Games**, node license holders play a pivotal role that is the backbone of our ecosystem, in driving the **cloud infrastructure** that supports our platform. We are a cloud-based gaming protocol with a rapidly expanding library of 30+ games built on innovation, collaboration, and community rewards. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the **claims process for $XSEED token rewards**, specially designed for our dedicated node license holders.
## Purpose of Node Licences
Node licences power our **cloud-based ecosystem using reputable** providers such as Google, Avalanche, and Unity (+others) integrating Web2 scalability with Web3 decentralization. Licence holders do not need to run their nodes but instead can pay for cloud hosting fees for our gaming infrastructure to get rewards. This removes the stress and complexity of creating your infrastructure, maintaining hardware, paying energy bills, etc. Hosting is **free for the first 6 months,** so holders get **early rewards for free** just for holding a licence. After that period, the hosting fees will be with industry averages paid monthly or upfront in the long term.
## **Benefits of a Node Licence?**
Node rewards for license holders have been accruing since **October 28, 2024**, and the accumulated $XSEED tokens will be **claimable 2 days after the first CEX resumes trading.**
### 🎁 **Early Holders Free Rewards**
* Hold license NFTs in your wallet to earn rewards.
* The more licenses you hold, the greater your rewards — multiple licenses in a single wallet multiply your benefits.
* This reward period is expected to last **6 months after TGE** (Token Generation Event).
### 🌐 Cloud **Hosting Rewards**
* Rewards are tied to our **cloud-based infrastructure**, powered by **Google Cloud**, **Unity**, and **Avalanche**.
* Hosting fees will be enabled as we scale to the **cloud mainnet** and integrate advertisements, covering additional compute costs while supporting the ecosystem.
## **Hardware needed to run a node?**
Our Web 2.5 architecture with Google, Avalanche, Unity cloud services will not require individuals to run a node. Instead holders will pay a monthly hosting fees to unlock rewards. Easy and seamless process.
## Rewards
A huge 35% of the entire supply is set aside to reward node licence holders. That is a whopping 17.5 billion tokens. Like all other similar node licences in the industry, wallets must pass KYC before they claim accrued node rewards.

## Rarities
The node licence NFTs will have different rarities based on number. A unique number is allocated based on the purchase order and that dictate the type with Mythical & Legendary being the most prestigious and limited in number. Usually the highest rarities are the most expensive but in this case, they are the cheapest and given on a FCFS basis (first come, first serve, fair launch).
This way we ensure out early supporters are the biggest beneficiaries..
| | Licence Numbers |
| --------- | --------------- |
| Mythical | 1 - 3000 |
| Legendary | 3001 - 5000 |
| Epic | 5001 - 8000 |
| Standard | 8001 - 30000 |
