# Node Operator Rewards

Node operators are essential to the Wirex Pay network. They are eligible to receive 20% of the total WPAY token supply. Additionally, node operators will be the first to receive WPAY tokens, ensuring they play a crucial role in the early stages of the network. This strategy aims to drive community participation and increase the decentralization of the network.

By participating in the Wirex Pay DAO, token holders will not only help shape the future of the network but also gain access to various rewards and benefits, ensuring a truly decentralized and community-driven payment network.

Possessing a node license is the sole method to acquire $WPAY prior to the Token Generation Event (TGE).
