Introducing UNO: Your Gateway to the NodeOps Network

We’re thrilled to present UNO, an exclusive utility-based NFT collection built to reward you, the community, for your engagement and commitment to the NodeOps ecosystem.

This isn't just a PFP collection — UNO is your key to unlocking real-world perks, from platform discounts to governance rights and access to future projects.

UNO utility

UNO is designed to give you real world utility, as well as a truly awesome PFP to flash around.

➤ Revenue: UNO gives you a piece of the NodeOps pie every quarter.

➤ Discounts: on any purchase on the NodeOps platform.

➤ Allowlisted access across NodeOps ecosystem projects with chain-specific preferential minting.

➤ Governance rights: holding UNO gives you governance rights just like holding $NODE.

Real benefits for real people

NodeOps has already been battling the bots, aka sybils, that are attempting to swarm and consume NPs on the incentivized Testnet. So, we have designed UNO to ensure that whales and sybils do not snap up the entire collection.

UNO must live in real wallets held by real people who are the lifeblood of our community, and to achieve this, we have a couple of strategies in place:

Non-transferrable token

UNO is tied to the wallet that mints it for one year: that should put off the people that treat wallets like used tissues! Let’s cement a shared commitment to growing the network together.

Proof-of-conviction

For those in the community that can’t afford to commit the full price all in one go, don’t worry. The allowlist for UNO mints will include a proof-of-conviction round. This is a raffle round that lets you pitch $25 for a chance to be allowlisted. If you’re unlucky, you get the money back. If you’re selected, that money counts toward the mint.

How can you get your UNO NFT?

The sale happens in three phases, and each one targets a different sector of the NodeOps family:

Completed: Phase 1 $NODE holder exclusive

If you hold $NODE, you got the first shot. 1 UNO was exchanged for 500 $NODE during this exclusive 48-hour window. It’s our way of thanking the token holders who have supported NodeOps from the beginning.

Phase 2: Proof-of-Conviction raffle

For Phase 2, anyone gets a chance to mint the 2,000 UNO available.

• You can buy as many $25 tickets as your conviction dictates. ⁃ At the end of this phase, a raffle will determine which tickets win a chance to mint. ⁃ Each full mint costs $200, so any tickets you purchased go toward that total.

For example, if you buy 8 tickets (a spend of $200) and two of those tickets get selected in the raffle, you’ve effectively paid for one UNO mint: you can mint one UNO immediately. If you want to claim the second winning spot as well, you’d pay an additional $200 to complete that second mint. Any unclaimed spots will carry over to Phase 3. If you don’t win? You get your money back — no risk, all reward.

Phase 3: UNO sale

In the final phase, anyone can mint whatever UNO are left at $250 per mint.

It’s already happening, people

Over 300k wallets are already on the waitlist, Phase 1 sold out in just 3 hours, and the excitement is growing. UNO isn’t just a reward — it’s a way to secure your spot in the future of NodeOps as we scale up our Node-as-a-Service offerings and continue leading in DePIN infrastructure.
