The partnership between NodeOps and iAgent has been a remarkable journey. Now, as we’ve successfully completed iAgent’s Node Bootstrapping - we’ve quite clearly demonstrated the potential of our innovative node operation method.

In this case study, we’ll take a closer look at the key milestones and the effort that brought iAgent to this success.

Case Study: An Insight into Innovative Collaboration

NodeOps and iAgent partnership redefining blockchain gaming

First – A Quick Brief on iAgent

iAgent is a cutting-edge protocol designed to transform blockchain gaming development. It provides developers with robust tools and infrastructure to enhance the immersive gaming experience. It focuses on improving the performance of decentralized applications (dApps) in gaming and uses DePIN computing to allow efficient transactions and interactions. Its native token, $AGNT, plays a key role in incentivizing participants, making it an integral part of the ecosystem.

This partnership marks a phase forward for both networks, bringing together NodeOps' Node Bootstrapping strategy and iAgent’s approach to blockchain gaming. The collaboration not only strengthens the iAgent ecosystem but also creates a more sustainable, decentralized network.

To understand more, you can read iAgent’s Node Bootstrapping article and get an insight into its reward system, and Genesis Nodes launch in detail.

Why Use NodeOps’ Node Bootstrapping?

Node Bootstrapping is an innovative approach for node sales and deployment, and iAgent was the inaugural project to use this method. Users purchased and deployed Genesis nodes in simple steps and started earning rewards immediately—without waiting for weeks or months like before.

But how was it beneficial to iAgent?

Node Bootstrapping streamlined the iAgent’s Genesis node launch, and improved user engagement and satisfaction from day one itself. The user-friendly interface simplified payments and provided a seamless experience for all. Node Bootstrapping hastened Genesis Node deployment and fostered a decentralized, secured network to support iAgent’s vision of blockchain gaming development.

Event Execution and Community Involvement

The Node Bootstrapping event kicked off on September 10th, 2024, and ended on October 4th, 2024. The community response was nothing short of phenomenal and showed strong engagement and enthusiasm throughout the launch.

Note: You can currently deploy the Genesis Nodes on NodeConsole but not purchase node licenses.

We’re glad to report some of our standout milestones:

• 70% of Genesis Nodes were successfully bootstrapped.

• A total of 3802 node licenses were sold.

• A reward pool of 4.4M $AGNT (iAgent’s Governance token) was allocated for participants.

• Node holders enjoyed 3X higher yield than general nodes.

The success of iAgent’s Node Bootstrapping was met with enthusiasm and praise from many users. Here’s what some of them had to say about their experience on our platform:

*“The purchasing process was very smooth and frictionless. Loved it.” - Paul.

“Somebody should call Gordon Ramsay because NodeOps is cooking!” - P. Stefanov.*

We are grateful for such positive responses from the community and look forward to bring more seamless experiences for everyone.

Key Benefits of the Partnership

The partnership and the Node Bootstrapping event were a hit for iAgent and the communities. Here’s why:

• Quick access and deployment: Node Bootstrapping allowed iAgent to provide immediate access to the members of their Genesis nodes without long waiting periods.

• Earning NodePoints: Through active participation, community members can earn instant rewards from:

  • iAgent ($AGNT)

  • NodeOps—NodePoints—through the deploy-and-earn method.

• Sustainable economics: Node Bootstrapping has created a more sustainable economic model for protocols like iAgent. It enables blockchain protocols to reward their communities while promoting higher engagement and growth of the network.

• Secure environment: NodeOps’ ETH-economic security model provides a safe, decentralized ecosystem and robust protection for all participants of iAgent and NodeOps communities.

If you too are planning to streamline node operations in a secure system, our expertise and comprehensive solutions can make life easy, just as they did for iAgent’s Node Bootstrapping.
