True decentralization means that network infrastructure cannot be restricted to an exclusive group of authorized participants, regardless of the labels used to describe it. We firmly stand by this principle at Tellor. Operating a node and synchronizing with our network is completely open to everyone. You will never be asked to sign a hosting contract, purchase specific hardware, or request authorization from our developers in order to participate.

You can begin setting up your node today by visiting our documentation at the link below:
